Latina women make up a large portion of deaths from breast cancer. In addition to this concern, recent observations show an increase in this type of cancer among Latinas in California younger than 40 years old.

Immigrative Interactive ManaulCovering immigration is not easy. It often requires an understanding of public policy and immigration law, an appreciation of U.S. history and our social dynamics, and an ability to convey in a compelling, even-handed way the everyday stories of immigrants. It is important not to stereotype, sensationalize or oversimplify the issues and the lives of the people you interview. While writing about illegal immigrants, for example, it is important to earn their trust and also make sure they understand your role as a journalist and not as an advocate. There may be language barriers, and it is important that you translate accurately or work with a translator who can assist you.

This manual will help you cover immigration in a fair and meaningful way.
