I work with one news outlet in the US that insists that no #migration story be aired without the voices of migrants. It's an admirable policy in theory but the reality is few migrants want to share their trauma for the benefit of making a story more engaging to a US audience's passing interest. The effect is that they under-cover the repeated violations of international law in Italy re: migrant boats, and audiences are worse informed. Frustrating. #journalism https://www.rainews.it/maratona/2023/03/migranti-continuano-gli-sbarchi-a-lampedusa-26-marzo-2023-33dad9c2-b394-4f5b-89eb-a6119dc31d3f.html

Sale a 91 il bilancio delle vittime del naufragio di Cutro, oggi, dopo un mese, iniziative in memoria. Intanto continuano gli sbarchi e nel pomeriggio è previsto il trasferimento di alcune centinaia di migranti da Lampedusa

@thefinalyorgles I feel this frustration myself as a newspaper editor on the border in a city also grappling with behavioral health gaps and a lack of transitional housing, leaving people out in the cold (literally and figuratively). It’s very hard to report and include these voices consistently without being exploitative or voyeuristic and distorting matters further.
