Claudia Yaujar-Amaro will create a modular, customizable immigration journalism platform that provides journalists with ready-made materials for immediate use. These will include story templates (how to structure an immigration story, best angles), infographics and explainer visuals (for use in news reports, digital media), ethical reporting checklists (before, during, and after covering immigration stories), interview guides (how to approach sensitive topics with migrants) and fact-checking resources (common myths vs. facts about immigration.)

“I believe that every journalist, whether or not they have a deep background in immigration issues, should have access to the tools, knowledge, and ethical guidance needed to tell these stories responsibly,” Yaujar-Amaro said.
