Nichi Bei Times
The ''Nichi Bei Times'' (日米タイムズ ''Nichi Bei Taimuzu'') was a Japanese American newspaper headquartered in San Francisco.〔(Home page ). ;;Nichi Bei Times''. Retrieved on September 8, 2012. "Office Address: 2211 Bush Street San Francisco, Calif 94115"〕 As of 2009 it was the oldest Japanese American newspaper in Northern California. Historically the ''Nichi Bei Times'' was a daily bilingual English-Japanese newspaper, while from 2006 to 2009 it was published four times weekly, with Japanese editions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and English editions on Thursdays. The paper was disestablished effective September 30, 2009.〔Drennan, Justine Koo. "(Nichi Bei Times Decides to Close; Nonprofit Hopes to Continue Legacy )." New America Media at ''AsianWeek''.

==History==
In 1899 , a newspaper seller, established the ''Nichi Bei Shimbun'' (日米新聞 ''Nichi Bei Shinbun''). The Nichi Bei Foundation said that Kyutaro Abiko was "known to historians as the most influential Japanese immigrant to America," and that the newspaper was "the most influential Japanese American newspaper in the country prior to World War II."〔"(About the Nichi Bei Foundation )." Nichi Bei Foundation. Retrieved on September 8, 2012.〕 The daily circulation peaked at 25,000 during the 1920s, and although it had dropped to 9,400 by 1941 the ''Nichi Bei'' remained more or less even with its competitors. After Abiko's death in 1936, his wife Yonako took over the business, and in 1939 the ''Nichi Bei'' building and equipment were destroyed in a fire. The company acquired a new location in 1940 but ceased operations less than two years later, when the newspaper was forced to close and the staff sent to World War II internment camps in April 1942.〔〔
After World War II several employees of the ''Nichi Bei Shimbun'' founded the ''Nichi Bei Times'', with William Yasuo Abiko, the son of Kyutaro and Yonako, heading the new business.〔 The first issue was published on May 18, 1946.〔 The ''Nichi Bei Times'' asked for donations to rebuild post-war Japan.〔 Justine Koo Drennan of New America Media said "Since then, the paper has consistently covered hate crimes and other news important to Japanese Americans that the mainstream media has neglected."〔 In 1998 Kenji G. Taguma, who by 2009 was the ''Nichi Bei Times'' vice president and editor of the English version, wrote a story that contributed to the gain of redress for families of miners and railroad workers who had been fired from their jobs after the Japanese military had attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941; the U.S. federal government had not included them in a 1988 redress act.〔
