MV Times Awarded for Brazilian Immigration Coverage
The Martha's Vineyard Times has been honored by the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) for its coverage of immigration and its impact on the Island's Brazilian community.
Brazilian journalist Paula Moura, a contributing writer for the MV Times, was awarded first place by the NAHJ New England chapter for investigative work for a small news outlet.
The NAHJ specifically noted her reporting of the immigrant community, including her efforts to interview and profile Brazilian immigrants who had been detained by U.S. authorities.
The award recognizes the MV Times' continuing coverage of immigration and its effects on the Island's Brazilian community, particularly in the face of increased enforcement by federal agents.
