The U.S. and Mexico share deep personal, economic, geographic and cultural connections, but our understanding of Mexico is often limited by stereotype and media exaggeration. Mexico Uncovered is out to change that.
This one hour special is reported by some of the most talented young journalists working in public radio today, Annie Murphy, Mo?nica Ortiz Uribe, and Marlon Bishop all of them bilingual and regular contributors to Marketplace, Morning Edition, The World, and Studio 360.
Mexico Uncovered is produced by award-winning public radio veterans Beverley Abel, Leda Hartman and Mary Stucky.
In a groundbreaking collaboration with Mexican reporters and top-tier media outlets in Mexico, these untold stories were also published in Spanish in Mexico.
Mexico Uncovere d is "evergreen" and can be pegged to key dates . Day of the Dead (November 1 and 2), Christmas and Easter (when millions of Mexicans travel “home”), March spring break when Americans flock to Mexico’s beach resorts, and Cinco de Mayo. The immigration debate is expected to heat up this year, creating a strong news peg.
Support for Mexico Uncovered comes from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation .
