This video explores the complex intersection of journalism and advocacy through the lens of Jose Antonio Vargas’s career. As a prominent filmmaker and writer for prestigious outlets like The Washington Post, Vargas challenged professional norms in 2011 by publicly disclosing his status as an undocumented immigrant. The discussion examines the ethical boundaries and challenges faced when a reporter’s personal identity and activism overlap with their media work. By analyzing Vargas’s transition from traditional reporting to immigrant rights advocacy, the segment questions how personal stakes influence objective storytelling and the evolving definition of a journalist in the modern era.
