WHAT 事項::: AARP ’s new documentary Caregiving: The Circle of Love presents the traditions and challenges of caregiving in the Chinese American community from the point of view of three family caregivers, including MSNBC News Anchor Richard Lui. Filmed by San Francisco-based Executive Producer Toan Lam, the fourteen-minute film was created by AARP to help families start the difficult but vital conversation about caregiving. AARP 全新紀錄片《《《照護家人: 愛的傳承》》》(Caregiving: The Circle of Love )將通過 MSNBC 新聞主播呂勇詩(Richard Lui )等三位家庭照護者 訪談,介紹美國華裔社區照護親友的傳統和所遇到的挑戰。這條十四分鐘 的電影是由 AARP 製作及來自舊金山的導演 Toan Lam 拍攝,以幫助華裔 家庭就十分困難但又極為重要的照護親友議題展開對話。 WHO 人物::: Daphne Kwok , AARP Vice President of Multicultural Leadership, Asian American and Pacific Islander Audiences, and Family Caregiver Toan Lam , Executive Producer of Caregiving: The Circle of Love , Founder of GoInspireGo , and former Family Caregiver Lily Liu , AARP Historian Emerita and Family Caregiver Richard Lui , MSNBC News Anchor and Family Caregiver WHEN: Tuesday, June 21, 2016 6:00pm: Reception 酒會 7:00pm: Screening, Panel Discussion, and Q&A 播放影片、座談會和問答環節 8:15pm: Program ends 活動結束 WHERE 地點::: Fromm Hall (Xavier Auditorium) University of San Francisco 舊金山大學 2497 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118 * Enter on Parker Street near McAllister Street; Fromm Hall is on the left * FREE limited parking in Koret Lot on Parker Street at Turk Street (first-come, first-served) WHY 背景::: One in five Americans care for aging parents, spouses, relatives, friends or other loved ones. At some point in your life, you either will be a caregiver or need a caregiver. In California, there are more than 4 million family caregivers providing $47 billion annually in unpaid care . Asian Americans provide caregiving for their families more than any other ethnic group (42% compared to 22% of other Americans). Asian Americans have a higher sense of caregiving responsibility with 73% feeling that children in the family should care for elderly parents (compared to 49% of other Americans). 72% of Asian Americans express guilt for not providing more care (compared to 48% of other Americans). Chinese Americans are twice as likely (14%) to live in multigenerational households compared to other Americans (7%). With the heavy expectation that care should be provided by one’s own family, larger households help enable caregiving. • 五分之一的美國人正在照護年老的父母、配偶、親戚、朋友或其他親 人。如果你目前還不是一位照護者,你便曾經是或者將來會是一位照護 者。在你人生的某個階段,你必然會成為一位照護者或者你將需要一位 照護者。 • 在加州,有超過 400 萬萬萬位家庭照護者萬 ,每年在家提供 470 億元價值的無 償護理。 • 美國亞裔照護家人的比例其他任何族群都高(亞裔 42% ,其他美國 人 22% )。 • 亞裔在照護親人方面有更高的責任感。 73% 的亞裔認為子女必須照護 年邁的父母(相比其他美國人 49% )。 72% 亞裔因為沒有提供更多的 照護而感到內疚(相比其他美國人 48% )。 • 美國華裔家庭幾代同堂生活的比例(14% )是其他的美國人(7% )的 兩倍。由於人們都認為應該由自己家人提供照護,因此大家庭共同生活 更能互相幫忙照護。 CO-PRESENTER 合合合辦合辦辦辦機構機構: University of San Francisco School of Education COMMUNITY PARTNERS 社區合作夥伴伴伴::: Alzheimer’s Association Center for Asian American Media Chinese American Citizens Alliance, San Francisco Lodge OCA - East Bay, San Francisco and San Mateo Chapters Self Help for the Elderly GUEST RSVP 賓客報名::: aarp.cvent.com/caregiving062116 FREE EVENT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC PRESS REGISTRATION 媒體報名:::Bonnie Kwong at [email protected] or (415) 501-0776 About AARP AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, with a membership of nearly 38 million that helps people turn their goals and dreams into 'Real Possibilities' by changing the way America defines aging.

TODAY’S SELFISH PANDEMIC Seven years ago, Richard Lui walked into his supervisor’s office at NBC’s 30 Rock headquarters, prepared to give up his dream job. Having just learned of his father’s Alzheimer’s, the news anchor wanted to be with him during his important last years, even if it meant setting aside his career. So Lui reduced his work hours and joined 53 million Americans in becoming a family caregiver. In his new book, Enough About Me: The Unexpected Power of Selflessness, Lui opens up about ​ ​ helping his father and living to take care of somebody else. He couples his story with research and tips on how and why living selflessly can bring joy despite difficulty. Today, Lui observes, America suffers from a selfish pandemic. There is an apathy problem — from everyday Twitter disrespect to a rise in hate crimes. Lui reflects on his recent reporting on race-based violence, spree killers, and political animosity as some examples of how he’s seen in his stories selfish acts rise in frequency.

  • 2011 State of the News Media Report
    Overview By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. With some notable exceptions, cutbacks in newsrooms eased. And while still more talk than action, some experiments with new revenue models began to show signs of blossoming. Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. The biggest issue ahead may not be lack of audience or even lack of new revenue experiments. It may be that in the digital realm the news industry is no longer in control of its own future. News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. But each technological advance has added a new layer of complexity—and a new set of players—in connecting that content to consumers and advertisers. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. They depend on aggregators (such as Google) and social networks (such as Facebook) to bring them a substantial portion of their audience. And now, as news consumption becomes more mobile, news companies must follow the rules of device makers (such as Apple) and software developers (Google again) to deliver their content.
