Dion Lim is an American news anchor and reporter for KGO-TV/ABC7. She is known for reporting on violence against Asian Americans.
Early life
Lim was born in Michigan and moved to Connecticut as a teenager.[1] She often states, including in her first book published by McGraw-Hill, being one of only a handful of Asian Americans in her predominantly white communities.[2]
Career
Lim's first on-air job was in Springfield, Massachusetts, and she was then offered a job as an anchor in Kansas City.[3] Lim also worked as a news anchor in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Tampa Bay area of Florida. While working, she faced racism from viewers, including being compared to Connie Chung.[4]
Lim was working for KGO-TV when the COVID-19 pandemic began. She had reported on previous attacks on Asians, such as the attack on an elderly man collecting cans in San Francisco,[5] but she saw instances of anti-Asian sentiment increasing during the pandemic. She wrote in an op-ed that reporting on these attacks gave her purpose.[4] In an interview with Lawrence Yee and J. Clara Chan of TheWrap, she and fellow journalist CeFaan Kim spoke about the experience of being Asian American journalists reporting on the subject.[6] She was also interviewed about her coverage of anti-Asian violence on a PBS NewsHour segment.[7]
In January 2021, she conducted an interview with Chesa Boudin, the San Francisco district attorney. During the interview, Lim questioned him about a fatal car crash caused by Troy McAlister, a parolee Boudin's office had previously declined to charge following other infractions.[8]
