Immigration Matters

Monthly tip sheet for immigration reporters
Immigration is a complex, fast-changing, evolving topic that affects not just the Southern border but most cities, regions, and states across the country where migrants (whether refugees, asylum seekers, the undocumented or legally admitted new arrivals) are resettling.
Poynter adjunct faculty Zita Arocha is a journalist and educator who has spent her life covering, teaching and writing about immigration. Now, she's offering her decades of expertise in a series of monthly tip sheets ([link removed]) .

She writes, "I hope to help fellow journalists, sharing with them the knowledge and expertise I have gained over the last several decades covering immigration stories."

Shut out by powerful sources? Here's a guide for journalists.
Journalists are increasingly being shut out of their efforts to cover public business and hold officials accountable.
That's why Poynter convened a group of experts to engage in a discussion about this phenomenon and provide insights into what journalists can do about it.
Their key takeaways were released recently in “Shut Out: Strategies for good journalism when sources dismiss the press,” ([link removed]) which makes the case that growing adversity from public officials toward journalists is damaging not just to the journalism industry, but detrimental to the public trust.
