The Census Bureau is paying a Chinese-controlled TV station to run ads promoting this year's census, Axios reports.
The strategy is part of the bureau's overarching 2020 Census Paid Media Campaign, which pays government money to community media outlets to run ads about the census with the hope that the agency is able to reach as many people as possible.
The Census Bureau is not directly running the media campaign. The government agency outsourced the project to marketing firm VMLY&R, which delegated outreach to Asian American audiences to another firm, TDW+Co.
"The 2020 Census Paid Media Campaign decision was made based on a careful and holistic evaluation of multiple criteria within the request for proposal (RFP)," TDW+Co founder Tim Wang told Axios.
