The International Examiner
The International Examiner is a no-cost biweekly newspaper focused on the Asian American community, located in Seattle, Washington's International District. Established in 1974 by Gerald Yuasa and Lawrence Imamura, it aimed to represent the business interests of Asian Americans in the area. In 1975, the newspaper was acquired for just $1 by the Alaska Cannery Workers Association, transforming it into an activist and community-focused publication. Though it regained independence three years later, it maintained the strong tradition of activism initiated by the association. As a result, many of its "editors" were community organizers and activists rather than conventional journalists. By 2004, the paper's circulation reached 10,000. Today, the International Examiner stands as the oldest Asian American newspaper in the Northwest and the longest-running pan-Asian publication in the United States. It operates as a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors.

In her work, Ghatak engages in a dialogue with the plasticity of past and present, braiding themes of myth, identity, and memory with personal and collective narratives. The interview has been edited for clarity.
