Mexican journalist Enrique Cordero wins Premios TAL international award for Special Report on immigration

From Zacatecas journalist Enrique Cordero, who participated in an immigration reporting trip that InquireFirst organized in April to the Texas-Mexico border.

Enrique produced a six-part, long-form television report titled Frontera for his media organization, Sistema Zacatecano de Radio y Televisión (Sizart). 

In December 2023, his series won an international award from Premios TAL in the category of Special Reports. TAL (Televisión América Latina) is a network of public, cultural and educational television stations in Latin America. 

Enrique wrote, “This a new beginning for me.”

We received more good news in December – this time from Geneva, Switzerland!
