===Discrimination against breastfeeding women=== On October 21, 2013, ''World Journal'' published a controversial article that allegedly discriminated against breastfeeding women. Titled "Breastfeeding photos embarrass Chinese-American to death", the article cited anonymous resources, labeled breastfeeding photos as "R-rated-photos", described those photos as "disturbing" and "disgusting." The article received strong reaction among [[Chinese American]] Community and the Taiwanese Breastfeeding Association launched a protest against ''World Journal''. Media Watch criticized that the report was "misleading" and "biased."<ref>[http://www.mediawatch.com/?p=1333 Political Exposure: the Breasts]</ref> It was also reported that ''World Journal'' allegedly failed to accommodate employees' legal nursing needs. Taiwanese American journalist and author [[To-wen Tseng]] blogged about her experience of being forced to pump her breast milk in a bathroom stall, and was harassed by colleagues for attempting to wash pumping accessories in the office kitchen.<ref>[http://breastfeedingtowen.blogspot.com/2013/11/i-quit-my-job-because-id-rather-be.html "I'd rather be breastfeeding"], blog post, Nov 2013</ref> In November 2013, Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center submitted a lawyer's letter to ''World Journal'', requesting a policy change and supervisor training regarding nursing employee's legal rights. The ''World Journal'' disputed the employee's claims, but agreed to settle the case. On August 25, 2014, ''World Journal'' made a policy change as requested and paid for the damage.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.las-elc.org/news/las-elc-settles-breastfeeding-discrimination-claim-against-world-journal|title=LAS-ELC Settles Breastfeeding Discrimination Claim against World Journal}}</ref><ref>settlement agreement between LAS-ELC and World Journal 08-25-2014.</ref>
