The Nichi Bei Foundation emerged from the decision to close Northern California’s long-running Nichi Bei Times, the region’s oldest Japanese American newspaper, after 63 years of publication. A group comprising current staff and community members intends to reestablish the publication as a separate nonprofit entity, preserving the journalistic legacy while pursuing a new organizational structure. Based in the United States, the organization operates within the newspaper publishing industry and seeks to serve readers and communities with roots in Japanese American history and culture, by continuing to cover relevant news and issues in a nonprofit framework. While the transition marks a shift in form and governance, the foundation maintains continuity with the original newspaper’s mission by focusing on community information, cultural context, and regional storytelling.
