USC's new ethnic media fellows

Two of the IJJ Fellows work in broadcasting, two in magazines and eight on newspapers. They are:

Mariana Alvarado Avalos, a reporter for La Estrella de Tucs�n.

Fernando D�az, an investigative reporter for The Chicago Reporter magazine.
Paula D�az, a reporter for Hoy newspaper in Los Angeles.
Dzung Do, a reporter for Nguoi Viet Daily News in Orange County, California.
J. Emilio Flores, a photojournalist for La Opini�n newspaper in Los Angeles.
Karla Gomez-Escamilla, a reporter/anchor for Univision Arizona.
Damaso D. Gonz�lez, a reporter for El Diario/La Prensa in New York City.
Naomi M. Ishisaka, the editor in chief of ColorsNW magazine in Seattle.
Linda Lin, a news manager for Singtao Daily in Los Angeles.
Jorge Morales Almada, a reporter for La Opini�n newspaper in Los Angeles.
Rodrigo Par�s, the U.S. and International Editor for Rumbo Newspapers.
David Rodr�guez, a reporter for Univision of Puerto Rico.

The Fellows will be joined in Arizona by eight of their editors and colleagues: Marco Flores of Univision Arizona, Rui Kaneya of The Chicago Reporter; Reynaldo Mena of Hoy, Jos� Merino of La Estrella de Tucs�n, Edwin Rivera of Univision Puerto Rico, Pedro Rojas of La Opini�n,
Jes�s Del Toro of Rumbo and Benjamin Vu of Nguoi Viet Daily News. During March 16-23, the IJJ Fellows and the editors will meet in Tucson and Green Valley, Arizona, with immigration experts and participate in field experiences in Sonora, Mexico. Arizona remains a focal point for immigration issues, all the more so because of a new law designed to penalize employers of undocumented workers and because of law enforcement controversies in Phoenix, Mesa and other cities.
