'' Gidra '' later relocated from UCLA to offices in Crenshaw , California . With this move came a shift in the paper ’s focus from the university to the greater Los Angeles Asian American community . Co-founder Murase wrote , “ During the first year , '' Gidra '' gradually changed its focus from the campus to the community , from Asian identity to Asian unity , and from ‘ what happened ’ to ‘ what can we do . ’” A number of historians have described '' Gidra '' 's two stages of journalism . Hoang wrote , “ These shifts in '' Gidra '' ’s conceptualization of the Asian American movement reflect the writers ’ emergent construction of an Asian American ethos , a subject position defined not only by racial otherness but also by social responsibility and third world nationalisms . ” Historian William Wei wrote , “ The first was devoted to learning the technical skills required to publish a newspaper , to defining what kind of paper it wanted to be , and , consequently , to defining what it meant to be Asian American and involved in the Asian American Movement ; the second was devoted to covering the antiwar movement , counterculture lifestyles , and radical politics . ” '' Gidra '' 's widened focus was also brought on in part by the UCLA strike and “ police riot ” against U.S. militarism in Cambodia in May 1970 , along with the Kent State and Jackson State shootings
