Feet in Two Worlds brings the work of immigrant and ethnic media journalists from communities across the U.S. to public radio and the web.

Since 2005, this award-winning project has expanded the diversity of voices and stories on public radio by presenting the work of journalists representing a broad spectrum of immigrant communities including Arab, Bosnian, Brazilian, Chinese, Haitian, Indian, Irish, Latin American, Pakistani, Polish, and Russian immigrants.

Feet in Two Worlds reporters appear on nationally-distributed public radio programs including PRI’s The World, Studio 360, and The Takeaway, American Public Media’s Marketplace and NPR’s Latino USA, as well as on public radio stations WNYC, New York Public Radio, and WDET in Detroit.

Our public radio work is complemented by the Feet in Two Worlds news website, a daily source of stories about immigrant communities in the U.S. written by immigrant journalists, and our town hall events, live conversations that bring together ethnic media journalists and academic experts to talk about trends and ideas in immigrant communities and developments in immigration policy.

Currently, our reporting team includes journalists in New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Phoenix. FI2W journalists are immigrants from Argentina, Bosnia, Poland, Venezuela and Uruguay, as well as first-generation Americans with roots in Mexico and the Philippines.

Feet in Two Worlds’ ethnic media partners include New America Media, the New York Community Media Alliance and ImpreMedia, publisher of the nation’s largest circulation Spanish-language newspapers.
