Angie’s most recent book, American Otherness in Journalism: News Media Representations of Identity and Belonging (Routledge, 2025) addresses the cultural constructions of Americanness through mainstream news media coverage of immigrants and people of color. The book is the winner of this year’s Kappa Tau Alpha Frank Luther Mott Journalism & Mass Communication Research Award.
Consulting and training on organizational culture, content/storytelling, and journalism
A former staff writer at The Oregonian and The Hartford Courant, Chuang is now a tenured faculty member in the University of Colorado Boulder’s Journalism Department with more than a decade of teaching and curriculum development experience. She’s served as a consultant and trainer for National Public Radio, Atlantic Media, Long Dash, Free Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Maynard 200, and other organizations. Her published research on media representations of social identity groups provides an empirical basis for her teaching and consulting.
