The Deadline Club has nominated Documented for our meticulous and exhaustive reporting about the Trump administration’s efforts to restructure the immigration courts and its tremendous impact on immigrant New Yorkers. We were also nominated for our coverage of COVID-19’s impact on immigrant New Yorkers, which often drew on the experiences of members of our WhatsApp community.
“At the Mercy of the Courts” and “The Matter of Castro Tum” were two episodes of the Latino USA podcast which followed two cases through the immigration courts, which were reported by Documented co-founders Max Siegelbaum and Mazin Sidahmed as well as Latino USA Producer Alissa Escarce. These episodes were nominated for Radio or Audio Investigative Reporting.

NEW YORK The American Journalism Project said Thursday that it was awarding $2 million in grants to three non-profit newsrooms, including one based in New York City that targets the immigrant community.
The site Documented, founded in 2018 by Mazin Sidahmed and Max Siegelbaum, will use the grant to expand newsgathering for Spanish-speaking immigrants. Documented has been praised for innovations in reaching readers, including through Semanal, a Spanish-language newsletter delivered through WhatsApp.
The venture philanthropy fund, begun by the founders of Texas Tribune and Chalkbeat, is also giving grants to the Montana Free Press in Helena, Montana, and the Beacon in Kansas City, Missouri.
