Ella Kam Oon Chun, also Ella Chun (March 28, 1915 – December 3, 1979) was a journalist active in Hawaii, notable as the first Asian American woman reporter on the Honolulu Advertiser.
Biography
She attended University of Hawaii and was a member of many clubs; she graduated in 1937.[1] Chun joined The Honolulu Advertiser in 1937, where she was the first Asian American woman reporter.[2][3]
Chun was the first woman journalist of any ethnic background at The Honolulu Advertiser to break away from the "society" pages when she became a City Hall reporter.[2] In 1956, on the newspapers' centennial, Chun was honored as the longest serving reporter at the paper.[2] Chun's work often covered Chinese life in Hawaii, from 150 years of Chinese presence there,[4] to discussions of everyday life of fish sellers.[5] Her work emphasized the positive aspects Chinese Americans brought to Hawaiian and American life. Her work also described cultural differences to overcome prejudices.[6]
She also wrote on human interest affairs, particularly on women.[7]
Chun also served as managing editor for the groundbreaking Waikiki Beach Press, established in 1952, which was one of the first four-color tourist brochures and included serious articles on Hawaiian life, authors, and culture.[8][9]
Chun was friends with American actor Jack Lord.[10]
Honors, awards, and recognition
She was included in Notable Women of Hawaii.[11] The Asian American Journalists Association has honored Chun in the Honor Roll of Asian American Pioneers in Journalism.[12]
