Talking to Journalists: What You Need to Know
Introducing our Talking to Journalists Postcard
Download the card (English)Developed in partnership with PublicSource.org, our Talking to Journalists postcard educates individuals about their rights and what to expect when approached by reporters. Available in English, Dari, Pashto, Spanish, and most recently Nepali, it serves Pittsburgh’s diverse immigrant communities and is adaptable for other regions. In October 2024, the cards were translated into Tagalog to commemorate Filipino American History Month.
Our collaboration with a local newsroom in Pittsburgh underscores our commitment to supporting local, independent news sources. We believe rebuilding social trust begins with trusted, community-based journalism.
We are dedicated to equipping journalists with the tools they need to fulfill their vital role responsibly and accurately without compromising the safety of immigrant communities. Resources like the Talking to Journalists Postcard and the Immigration Reporting 101 guide foster responsible journalism that respects and protects the lives and stories of immigrants in the U.S.
