Immigration Matters

Monthly tip sheet for immigration reporters
Zita Arocha is a bilingual journalist, writer and educator, and the director of the award-winning website Borderzine.
She's offering her decades of expertise covering immigration to Poynter learners through a series of monthly tip sheets ([link removed]) and a free Poynter course ([link removed]) .
A lifelong journalist, Arocha knows better than most that 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.
Tap into her expertise to find resources, story ideas and journalism tips from her Immigration Matters ([link removed]) series, and check Understanding U.S. Immigration from the Border to the Heartland ([link removed]) , a six-part, self-directed course that Arocha leads along with PolitiFact Deputy Editor Miriam Valverde.
Both are free, thanks to support from the Catena Foundation.
