Forced Migrancy
In these article and reports, addressing forced migrancy and refugee flight from Guatemala and Honduras, note the contrasts between mainstream media reporting (U.S. / Canada) that generally refuses to address underlying causes, and other reporting analyzing how historic and on-going policies and actions of the U.S. and Canada – as well as other actors in the ‘international community’ - contribute to the underlying causes of forced migrancy and refugee flight. (See Media Misreporting archives for more analysis of the role of media when {mis}reporting on forced migrancy and refugee flight issues, amongst many other issues.)
