iris chang was here
iris chang worked for AP. here, the bureau in chicago. i follow her footsteps as the second asian american person in this office.
i knew that. ya. i know that now. the day we moved her story on the wire was the day yasser arafat died. really died, not killed off by some multimillion media company. the way we did - once.
they said she didn't stay a year. "the good ones never really stay for very long," my colleague said, and we all laughed.
remarkably, in this office, my or chang's behavior doesn't really reflect on asian americans as a whole. rather than blanket all of us, my office labels each of us. "that was an ulanmaya piece." "ulanmaya made the call."
still, it wouldn't hurt to live up to some standards.
