ABOUT

We are a print and web newsmagazine distributed by UCLA Student Media in Los Angeles, California.  We are the oldest student-run Asian American Pacific Islander newsmagazine in the nation.  Since 1977, we have brought you news, analysis, commentary, criticism, and insight into the AAPI community. Through a dynamic combination of coverage ranging from campus issues and local news to politics, arts and entertainment to cultural awareness, this publication creates an on-going dialogue that offers insight into the dynamics of being an AAPI in America. Pacific Ties serves to challenge the perceptions of AAPI identity as well as to celebrate the achievements of the communities we all have ties to.
