East West is the premier lifestyle magazine for the celebration of Eastern culture, focusing on the experiences of Asian Americans. The bimonthly national publication and the accompanying Web magazine provide engaging content for readers of all backgrounds including fashion, beauty and celebrity content and features about serious and controversial issues relevant to Westerners who are drawn to the Eastern way of life, as well as Easterners living in and adapting to Western culture. East West has been featured in The New York Times, Folio, the New York Post, MediaPost and many more:

Image“The title is as intriguing as the tagline – ‘Life through an Eastern lens’… East West smartly positions each section - news, features, food - with a decidedly Eastern flair… In short, the 3-year-old East West works, neatly blending East/West experiences for a targeted readership.” — MediaPost’s Magazine Rack, Jan. 19, 2007

ImageEast West began in print as a women’s magazine, but Malik quickly realized that was too restrictive. ‘Crafting what East West means to our readers, which has changed over the years, has been the biggest challenge,’ says Malik, ‘but I think we’re finally in our groove. We understand our readers and are delivering what they want to read.’ Today, advertising and circulation are both growing at double-digit annual rates.”
Folio:, “The Folio: 40,” April 2007


Image“In the last 10 years, a quarter of all technology companies formed in the United States had at least one founding member who was an immigrant, East West writes, reporting on a study conducted by Duke University and the University of California, Berkeley. ‘The number of international patent applications filed by non-resident immigrants increased from 7.8 percent of all applications in 1998 to 24.4 percent in 2006,’ the article reports.” — The New York Times, March 21, 2007


Image“In the February/March issue of East West magazine, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ judge Nigel Barker, who’s of Sri Lankan descent, comments on ‘Top Model’ host Tyra Banks referring to him as ‘Indian’ on the show (he gives her a pass – barely). ‘I had to bite my tongue,’ he says. ‘It was a faux pas on her behalf. I knew what she meant. I wasn’t going to correct her on national television.’”
New York Post, “The Starr Report,” Feb. 21, 2007


ImageEast West Magazine: With so many noisy yet empty lifestyle magazines on the newsstands these days, it's tempting to tune out the genre altogether; however, this elegant publication aimed at Asian Americans gives reason to recant such a breezy dismissal. The profiled "L.A. issue" supplies just enough of the good stuff—fashion, cooking, shopping tips, celebrity profiles, etc.—but nothing more. Vogue-like excesses are avoided overall here.”
