Show notes

What does it take to shift from conventional TV news reporting to frontline advocacy? In this episode, Emmy Award–winning anchor and author Dion Lim joins Ken Fong to share how an anonymous video tip altered her career trajectory and thrust her into covering anti-Asian hate in the Bay Area and beyond. Dion opens up about breaking generational silence, pushing major media outlets for fair coverage, and the personal cost of speaking out. Together, they explore the role of journalism in building cross-racial solidarity and the story behind her book, Amplify!: My Fight for Asian American Visibility.
