Migratory Notes Town Hall: Covering Central American Migration

When:
02/11/2021
8:30 pm - 9:30 pm UTC

What did journalists get wrong – and right – covering so-called caravans, family separation, Remain in Mexico, and other asylum restrictions under Trump? What do Central American journalists wish U.S. audiences knew? What do journalists need to prepare for in covering the Biden administration and to expect with new waves of immigration?

This convening is the first in a series of virtual town halls for immigration journalists launched by Migratory Notes and Internews as the Biden administration embarks on a new immigration trajectory.

When: February 11, at 5:30pm PT/ 7:30pm CT/ 8:30pm ET
