Support Rebel Yellow
For nearly a decade, NextShark has been at the forefront of covering issues that matter to the Asian American community and the broader Asian diaspora. From breaking news to deep-dive investigations, we've dedicated ourselves to amplifying voices, telling critical stories, and holding institutions accountable.
Our Evolution: From NextShark to Rebel Yellow
NextShark has been a trusted voice in Asian American media, but we knew there was more to be done. We wanted to create a space specifically designed for deeper storytelling, critical insights, and community-driven discussions. That’s why we launched Rebel Yellow—a newsletter built to amplify the most important stories impacting our community, beyond the daily headlines.
Rebel Yellow is the natural evolution of our mission at NextShark. While NextShark continues to cover breaking news and trending stories, Rebel Yellow is where we dive deeper—where we analyze, reflect, and build a stronger narrative for our future.
Our History of Advocacy
During the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, NextShark stood as one of the few media outlets consistently reporting on these attacks, ensuring that these stories were seen, heard, and addressed. When the pandemic fueled a surge in anti-Asian rhetoric, we were instrumental in documenting its rise, spreading awareness, and pushing for change. Our reporting has helped shape conversations, drive action, and provide a vital platform for the community.
But this work isn't easy—and it isn’t free. Journalism takes resources, and to continue growing our impact, we need your support.
Why Your Support Matters
Our goal is to hire teams of journalists in major cities with Asian American and Asian diaspora communities across the country and beyond. Imagine local reporters dedicated to covering our stories, ensuring that every attack, every achievement, and every moment of cultural significance is documented and shared.
Your paid subscription makes this possible. It helps us:
Hire more journalists and storytellers from within the Asian American and Asian diaspora communities
Expand our coverage to more cities and regions
Continue producing impactful, high-quality journalism
Build a better future for representation and community-driven reporting
If just 1% of the 24 million Asian Americans in the U.S. subscribed, we’d have the resources to fund newsrooms in every major Asian American and Asian diaspora community worldwide. That’s the power of collective action.
