Use cross-border journalism to write authentically about other countries
Producing collaborative pieces across borders is a great way to help tell the stories of people living in spaces and cultures that are removed from your own.
Check out this article by Stella Volkenand, which discusses the advantages, do's and don'ts for writing cross-border journalism.
Volkenand argues that this kind of collaboration is a great way to increase the diversity of voices and perspectives in your writing while also gaining a unique and authentic angle.
For example, talking with native journalists allows writers to cover important bases they may have initially missed, gain local knowledge and contacts while also writing an authentic piece that is true to the lives of those living there.
