Love this from Borderless Magazine and Nissa Rhee. It’s exactly the right approach: “In 2022, Borderless launched a pilot initiative to meet its communities where they’re at by using Spanish-speaking canvassers to spend 12 weeks engaging with Latino community members in different neighborhoods each week to hear about how the magazine could better serve the people. From the in-depth surveys and conversations canvassers had with individuals, Borderless created a playbook guide for other news outlets to implement field canvassers to engage and listen to their communities.”

In 2023, Borderless was recognized for its many contributions to the community and in local journalism. Borderless won the Gather Award in Community-Centered Journalism at the National Online News Association Awards for our work bringing field canvassers into communities to distribute resources. Our engagement reporter, Diane Bou Khalil, was named an Early Career Leadership fellow from the Emma Bowen Foundation for her work in community engagement. And Borderless’ and Block Club Chicago’s collaboration “After the Buses” series on migrants coming to Chicago was named the best short story of 2023 in the Chicago Review of Books awards.
