This Week: Singapore in the news

Written by Angilee Shah on May 9th, 2009March 24th, 2017. Leave a comment

When I lived in Singapore I stayed in Bukit Timah, on the west of the island near a large nature reserve and beneath the city-state’s tallest peak, which is not the grandest mountain at just over 530 ft. Bukit Timah is just south of the bridge that crosses into the Malaysian border town of Johor […]

I’m in Los Angeles, but I’m not a big Grammys watcher. This year, I might just let CBS run in the background. I first listened to the music of M.I.A. in 2005, when Asia Pacific Arts took an early bet that she would become big news for the music industry. This year, her second album, […]

I cannot recall the first time I read The General in His Labyrinth except that it was early in my college career and it opened […]

emerging in California

Written by Angilee Shah on October 18th, 2008March 24th, 2017. Leave a comment

After just over a week in semi-hiding, I am proud to say that I’m back in California. It’s been one year and one week of traveling and teaching and writing (and eating) in Asia and it feels good to back where the avocados are cheap and the toilet paper is two-ply, even in public restrooms. […]

queuing for movies

Written by Angilee Shah on October 4th, 2008March 24th, 2017. 5 Comments

They all said the Pusan International Film Festival is the premiere festival in Asia. I’m no Asia film scholar, but it certainly is a big deal here. I’ve never seen teenagers wake up so early to get movie tickets before. On the third day of the festival, we also woke up early to get tickets […]

Tried to be really honest for the @Poynter newsletter The Cohort. And also, the volunteers of #womendonews are the best. bit.ly/3e0PNBd (thanks @Mel_Grau!)

"Most women journalists in history haven’t been ‘notable’ enough for Wikipedia. We’re changing that." A great essay by @angshah about #womendonews & in general who gets erased in journalism. Who is interviewed, profiled, awarded. Who gets kicked out. Who never gets let in. twitter.com/angshah/status…

The latest issue of the @Poynter newsletter "The Cohort" features a piece by @angshah — a fellow @womendonews co-founder — on how the project is increasing the number and quality of bios of female journalists on Wikipedia, and why it matters! poynter.org/business-work/…
