==Editorial Focus==
''Asian Week'' provided “a documentary record of many important events that have affected the Asian American community.”<ref name="Huping" /> Coverage of East Asian American issues included the killing of Vincent Chin, East Asian American college admissions, and quotas on Chinese students in competitive San Francisco school assignments.
===Activism in politics=== One of the paper’s most important focus areas for editorial coverage and advocacy was to increase representation of Asian Pacific Islanders in elected office.<ref name="Purdy" /> The front page of ''AsianWeek's'' premier issue blasted the headline “Democrats and Republicans Voice the Same Opinion: It’s time for More Asian Americans to Enter Politics.”<ref>{{cite news |title=Democrats and Republicans Voice the Same Opinion: It's time for More Asian Americans to Enter Politics |issue=1 |publisher=AsianWeek |date=August 23, 1979|volume=1 }}</ref>

===U.S Census=== In 1977, the same year Fang began making plans for ''AsianWeek'', the United States Office of Management and Budget ordered the U.S. Census Bureau and federal agencies to create a pan-ethnic Asian category, “Asian or Pacific Islander”.<ref>{{cite web |last1=No. 15 |first1=Directive |title=Office of Management and Budget (OMB) DIRECTIVE NO. 15 Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting |url=https://wonder.cdc.gov/wonder/help/populations/bridged-race/Directive15.html |website=Wonder.cdc.gov |publisher=White House Office of Management and Budget |access-date=16 June 2018}}</ref> Prior to that, data were only collected in five sub-categories (Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and Hawaiian).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Perlmann |first1=Joel |last2=Nevada |first2=Patrick |title=Ethno-Racial Origin in US Federal Statistics: 1980–2020 Working Paper No. 857 |journal=Levy Economics Working Paper Collection |date=December 2015 |page=7 |url=http://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/wp_857.pdf |access-date=16 June 2018 |issn=1547-366X}}</ref> As the 1980 U.S. Census results were released, ''AsianWeek'' offered extensive editorial coverage in its pages which included special sections full of tables and figures.<ref name="Ngoc" />
''AsianWeek'' continued its focus on Asian Pacific Islander demographics throughout the publication’s history.

===Asians in American society=== Much of ''AsianWeek's'' coverage highlighted Asian Pacific Islanders participating in all the different aspects of American society.

''AsianWeek'' was severely criticized for publishing ''Why I Hate Blacks'' on February 23, 2007, a column by freelance writer Kenneth Eng.
