Correspondent Laura Paskus continues her series of interviews with journalists around New Mexico as they cover COVID-19 in their communities. Although it’s in Texas, El Paso’s proximity to New Mexico and the border with Mexico makes it an important part of the pandemic equation. Paskus talks with two veteran border journalists, Bob Moore of El Paso Matters and Lauren Villagran, immigration reporter with El Paso Times.

This story is part of a collaboration with New Mexico PBS through FRONTLINE’s Local Journalism Initiative, which is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
