Watch On-Line Today: Reporting on Migration from Obama to Trump

Read any news website, open any newspaper, or tune into any radio station and migration will soon make an appearance. Without journalists speaking to migrants and challenging official accounts, few people could keep track of the latest developments in the story of human mobility. Reporting on Migration from Obama to Trump brings five of the nation’s leading immigration reporters to the University of Denver to share the challenges and possibilities that come with covering this politically controversial, all-important topic.

The University of Denver College of Law TODAY will engage these insightful chroniclers. At noon, Cristian Farías, an editorial writer for the New York Times, will moderate a panel of print, digital, and broadcast journalists; Pilar Marrero, independent journalist, author of Killing the American Dream, and former Senior Political Writer for La OpiniónHamed Aleaziz, World Correspondent for BuzzFeed News; and Monica Campbell, Senior Editor at Public Radio International’s The World. Dara Lind, Senior Reporter at Vox Media, will deliver a keynote address beginning at 5:00.

Part of the Crimmigration Law & Policy Event Series, the day’s events are free and open to the public. Lunch is included during the noon panel. No RSVP is required. Paid parking is available on and around campus, including Lot 321 directly below the law school building. Both events will be held in Room 290 of the College of Law, located at 2255 E. Evans Avenue in Denver. If you can’t join the event in person, you can watch live online.
