The "i" word debated
by Annie Baxter, Minnesota Public RadioSt. Paul, Minn. — The national debate on immigration policy has loomed large in media coverage in recent months. It turns out the way the media report on those debates can sometimes be as contentious as the immigration policy in question. A forum sponsored by Minnesota Public Radio and the Minnesota News Council on Tuesday evening looked at the stakes of the media's representation of immigration issues.
About two dozen journalists from major local media outlets convened with immigration activists and opponents. The conversation prompted some audience members to reach new understandings, and others to exchange barbs.
Minnesota Public Radio's Annie Baxter has a closer look.
