As the curtain closes on 2021, the NumbersUSA staff who work as part of the Media Standards Project have each pulled together a list of noteworthy media items from the year that advanced a healthy, civil, productive conversation on immigration-related issues.
These pundits and reporters provided their consumers with high-quality commentary and information, allowing the space to explore nuances, trade-offs, and policy prescriptions with intellectual integrity.
It is an encouraging fact that there were a number of pieces and writers we considered writers who didn’t make any of our lists, but also had worthy cases.
Without further ado, I present our exemplars of 2021:
