Celebrating Southern News Group’s 41th Anniversary

Business Never Closed The Door

Today, June 16, 2020, is the date we are celebrating our forty-one years anniversary. In the past so many years, Southern News Group has witnessed dramatic changes in the world from the end of the Vietnam war, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rising power of Asia. We are recording all of the events, but most of our success should go to all our colleagues, loyal customers, readers and viewers.

Today, the Coronavirus still is spreading around the nation. My colleagues in Houston, Chicago, Washington DC, Dallas, Seattle, St. Louis and Portland never cease in their duty to work on reporting the news, broadcasting on the TV stage and never miss printing the newspaper. Their working spirit and sacrifice will definitely be recorded in the history of the media.

Today we are one of the largest Asian media groups in the nation. We have had a very loyal working partnership in the last several decades. We have experienced a changing world from the end of the Vietnam war, economic crisis in the 80’s and a financial crisis in 2008. We went through all the hardships because we have a very strong team working in different cities and just as important, we have had so many of our loyal community supporters.

Even though we are still facing this virus spread and demonstration unrest all over the nation, we still need to remain calm. We firmly believe that we can overcome.

Today, Southern News Group is changing. We incorporated the traditional media into the new media to create television, website, yellow pages and travel guide all on the internet. We also are planning to create an education program online as well as offer financial and medical services in the near future. We are going to utilize the media platform to better serve our community.

Most importantly, we need your continued support and trust. We will all work together for a better tomorrow.

永不打烊的社会事业
