About the Author
This beautifully written book is a major contribution to peace journalism in theory and application. The comparative content analysis of cross-cultural news centered on the ethics of care is unparalleled for its rigor and intellectual precision in the peace journalism framework. The author presents profound challenges for a new generation of empathetic news reporting on structural and cultural violence in international conflicts. Set in the complicated context of migrant agency, this urgent work is a must-read for the public and will be studied seriously in the classroom.

Mariely Valentin-Llopis outstandingly contributors to the discussion about the role of journalism in cultivating more peaceful societies. Any journalist who covers immigration and every scholar of peace journalism should unequivocally read this book. Valentin-Llopis sheds a tremendously necessary light on the various media coverages of Latin American immigrants in the United States. This book offers an intricate perspective through a combination of multiple methodologies, including empirical data and in-depth interviews. In addition to the nuance and rigor of her original research, Valentin-Llopis links key arguments of the book to international literature on conflict-sensitive news reporting. Hence, this piece is also a very valuable addition to the global conversation that seeks to envision how responsible and ethical media coverage should look across the contexts of significant sociopolitical issues.

After reading so many books on the topic of immigration, this book provides an original and trustworthy analysis of immigration reporting. Mariely Valentin-Llopis presents a strong data analysis by examining over 800 news items from American and Mexican media. I believe that this book will help readers connect past immigration experiences with current events involving unaccompanied immigrant minors that may restore core values inherent to a true democracy.
