newscast into a sophisticated TV news operation. He helped found the Sacramento
Chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) and has served on
the chapter board continuously since 1985. Wong was awarded a Lifetime Achievement
Award from the National AAJA organization. He’s also been recognize by the
California State Assembly and State Senate for journalistic achievement and support
