Journalism at Borders: Covering Mexico in a Time of Pandemic, Migration and Violence
From left to right: Adela Navarro Bello, Mary Beth Sheridan and Adriana Zehbrauskas
Featuring three winners of the 2021 Maria Moors Cabot awards, honoring distinguished careers covering Latin America.
For journalists, reporting on Mexico and the borderlands with the United States is hard, complex and often dangerous, but it is centrally important to inform politics in both countries. Citing the pandemic, the Biden administration imposed broad restrictions at the border, yet migrants from Central and South America and from Haiti have continued to surge across Mexico towards the U.S. Mexico has struggled to contain COVID-19, while an epidemic of narcotics-fueled violence also persists. Three outstanding journalists -- a reporter, an editor and a photographer-- who are winners of the 2021 Maria Moors Cabot awards will discuss stories they've covered in Mexico and how their work has evolved to deepen their reporting.
