K.W. Lee is a legend in California journalism. He was the chief investigative reporter for The Sacramento Union, known for digging and probing into bureaucracy. Most notably, he wrote 120 articles on Chol Soo Lee, a Korean American who was wrongfully convicted of a 1973 murder in San Francisco and faced the death penalty, but was eventually acquitted. This month, at the age of 96, Lee passed away in Sacramento surrounded by family. We’ll take a look back at the life of this pioneer in news - known affectionately as “the godfather of Asian American journalism.” Lonnie Wong is a retired broadcast journalist who spent more than 40 years at FOX40. Dan Walters is an opinion columnist at CalMatters and worked with Lee at The Sacramento Union. Steve Chanecka is a journalist who co-founded Koreatown Weekly with Lee and Randy Hagihara in 1979.
