Undocumented immigration across the Mediterranean and the US-Mexican border is one of the most visible and contested transatlantic public and political issues, raising fundamental questions about national identity, security and multiculturalism—all in the glare of news media themselves undergoing dramatic transformations.  Placing in dialogue new scholarly analyses and candid self-reflections of journalistic practices in France, Italy and the United States, this interdisciplinary, international collected volume unearths the professional, political, and technological constraints that illuminate why news stories about immigration are what they are today at the global flashpoints of clandestine border crossing.
