Why reach out to the Vietnamese?
Since 1975, the Vietnamese began immigrating en masse to the United States, they have thrived and prospered and contributed to the local economy. They rank second among Asian groups who own their businesses, most significantly restaurants, nail salons, beauty schools, construction, and landscaping. Almost half of Vietnamese adults have at least a college or associate degree.
Why advertise in a Vietnamese-language newspaper?
The Vietnamese are the most linguistically isolated major Asian groups in Washington, and have a much higher preference for reading news in their native language. The number of Vietnamese-language schools has quadrupled in the past 15 years, indicating a trend to encourage the preservation of the Vietnamese language. Over 50% report they speak English “less than very well.”
Local Vietnamese newspapers connect multiple generations of Vietnamese. Because the Vietnamese are a relatively new immigrant group with strong ties to Vietnam, they also rely on Vietnamese newspapers for news of their homeland.
Newspapers have long been the most consistent, readily available, and preferred source of local Vietnamese language news in Washington. In contrast, there is only one local Vietnamese radio and one Asian channel that feature local Vietnamese programming.
