It’s a sad comment on the state of newspapers that not just the Union-Tribune, but also other newspapers (Arizona Daily Star, among others) have slashed their border bureaus. The beat is way too fascinating and significant for newspapers to treat it that way. Glad to see that you and a handful of other super-determined people are continuing to report on the border despite the short-sightedness and increasing irrelevance of basically almost the entire newspaper industry at this time. Best of luck to you, and I’ll recommend your site to other interested readers.

The editors of the Union Tribune had an amazing lack of vision when they allowed the border reporters to go last year, losing years of experience and institutional history and three top-knotch reporters.
One can only hope that the new buyers will see that the border is critical to San Diego in so many ways, and dedicate some resources to its coverage.
