Todd Miller, co-founder of The Border Chronicle, an independent media outlet that covers the U.S.-Mexico border region, is celebrating 10 years of independent journalism. Miller, a longtime resident of Tucson, Arizona, has researched and written about border issues for more than two decades, with his work appearing in numerous national publications.

Why it matters

The Border Chronicle has provided an important counterpoint to mainstream media coverage of border issues, which often lacks the nuance and depth needed to fully understand the complexities of the region. Miller's independent reporting has shed light on the human impacts of border policies and the lived experiences of those affected.

The details

After spending many years living and working in Oaxaca, Mexico, Miller co-founded The Border Chronicle in 2016 to cover the entire U.S.-Mexico border region with the level of complexity and nuance he felt was missing from much of the existing coverage. The outlet has since established itself as a trusted source for in-depth reporting on border issues, with Miller's work appearing in a variety of national publications.
