When Valeria Fernández joined Fi2W as a fellow in 2009, she produced her first story in English. Today, she’s an award-winning journalist and the founder of @altavozlab.bsky.social, mentoring others to do the same.

Fi2W doesn’t just publish stories; we build the infrastructure immigrant journalists need to thrive. We mentor journalists to report from within their own communities and grow into newsroom leaders.

For 35 years, Antonio Estrada and Gloria Valenzuela have honored their loved ones and their borderland roots through Día de Muertos altar-making in Tucson. Their ofrendas, rich with memory and color, continue to teach others the meaning of remembrance.

From classic cinema to global streaming, Latino actors are gaining visibility in Hollywood.

Author Luis Reyes calls it real progress: “Every time I read the trades, there’s a new Latino or Latina name.”

Reupping results from a recent @inn.org member survey:

• 60% are facing revenue declines
• 57% are seeking emergency funding
•36% report < 3 months of operating reserves

While authoritarian consolidation of corporate media continues unimpeded, nonprofit media is on the brink of collapse!
INBOX: I spoke to @inn.org about the existential crisis facing tiny nonprofit newsrooms like @thexylom.com.

In J-school, I learned how to be a good and ethical reporter, a flexible freelancer, and a strong relationship builder. But how does that translate to keeping the jobs of my colleagues?

The past year underscored the urgency of @fi2w.org's work. As immigrants in the U.S. face escalating political attacks and disinformation campaigns, the news industry itself is undergoing profound change.

At Fi2W, we measure our success not by the quantity of stories we publish, but by the way we amplify immigrant voices, deepen community-centered storytelling, and prepare journalists to lead in an increasingly hostile and uncertain media environment.

We're especially interested in an inclusive understanding of economy. Beyond stock and inflation numbers, what are the specific ways we distribute goods and services — formally and informally — for the needs of our communities? How do immigrants provide those for themselves and others in the US?
