Asked if mass deportations would do harm to the agricultural industry in Florida, Rick Roth responded with confidence that Trump would not actually engage in an indiscriminate mass deportation program.

Interested in becoming a visual storyteller? Sarahbeth Maney is a visual fellow at ProPublica documenting the lives of people in our stories through photography. Here are her tips — through the lens of her photojournalism work in Flint, Michigan ?? 1. Ask “Why Does This Story Need to be Told?” For ProPublica’s reporting on Flint’s water crisis, Sarahbeth and reporter Anna Clark went into the project knowing that Flint was not just a news story but a complex place full of real people being denied adequate resources. She wanted the public to know that generations of Flint residents still live with physical and psychological challenges. 2.

She also made sure sources were aware of how the story would be framed, how they would be portrayed and how they would be quoted. 3. Look for Connection and Insight Through working in Flint, Sarahbeth learned about local programs and how communities generate empathy, advocacy and support for one another during hard times. She says: “My job is to make photographs, but a big part of the fulfillment I get is from making connections.” ?? Read more: https://propub.li/4fvYmkj
