Hokubei Mainichi

Hokubei Mainichi, the last Japanese American bilingual newspaper in Northern California will publish its last edition on Friday, October 30.

“Since the closure of the Nichi Bei Times, we made the decision to redouble our efforts and serve an even more important and broader function in the community than before. We are extremely disappointed that we were unable to meet our readers' expectations,” Don Yamate, President and CEO of Hokubei Mainichi Newspaper, said in an open letter to the readers. “The company will continue to seek investors and make every effort to once again become a media outlet serving the community.” According to Editor J. K. Yamamoto, there are no plans to set up a non-profit foundation.

Hokubei Mainichi was established in 1948 in San Francisco Japantown.
