About Us
Veteran journalist turns entrepreneur with Wind Newspaper
When a person has dedicated more than three decades of her life to serving her community through journalism, it’s hard to consider doing anything else.
2020 is an unprecedented year for all of us, also for me. I lost my job as did many Americans in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. I was forced to leave the job that I enjoyed and dedicated to serving the community as a journalist for over 30 years.
*Editor's Note: Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), a professional organization for all American journalists in the U.S. with 6000 members nationwide , publishes Quill Magazine quarterly. The summer issue of Quill i 2021 features Wind Newspaper and its founder Portia Li in the cover. We have received the permission from Quill Magazine to reprint the 4000-word article and translate the entire article into Chinese to share with our readers. Thank you SPJ and Quill Magazine for the support!
