摘要： Using in-depth interview, this study attempted to explore the current status, concerns, barriers and roles of
Asian-American public relations practitioners in the United States. The findings of the study show that while many are
satisfied with their current careers in public relations, Asian-American practitioners confirmed the existence of racial and
gender stereotypes that may challenge full organizational integration. In addition, unsatisfied media relationships and
gender issues emerged as prevailing concerns among them. However, they perceived that those barriers are not insurmountable
and can be overcome by "being more prepared," "more educated," "being positive," and "more experienced."
