Ten points for journalists when writing on immigrants and refugees
Ten good points to keep for journalists to keep in mind when writing about immigrants and refugees:
1. Study as much as you can the group you are going to write on. Reading up means getting in touch with people from that community and spending time with them. You would be surprised by how many new angles emerge. Being as objective as possible when writing a story on immigrants means throwing away or keeping at bay your suspicions and prejudice. In short it means for you to take that group’s views as well.
