Wallace House Presents the Hovey Lecture with Mazin Sidahmed, co-founder of Documented
Sept. 10, 2024

Beyond the partisan rallying cries around immigration influencing the presidential race, the issue plays out in individual communities where needs, resources and responses often transcend party lines and knee-jerk responses. How journalists cover immigration – and who their coverage ultimately serves – can shape how Americans understand and debate this issue for generations.

Join Mazin Sidahmed, 2021 Knight-Wallace Reporting Fellow and co-founder of the non-profit newsroom Documented, for a discussion on how shifting our journalism focus from national coverage to local news outlets and from “reporting about” to “reporting for and with” immigrant communities can help us discern immigration fact from fiction and improve outcomes for everyone.
