For the past 10 years, Feet in 2 Worlds has brought the work of immigrant and ethnic media journalists from communities across the US to public radio and the web.We also host live town hall forums at The New School, where Fi2W is based, and sponsor food tours of immigrant neighborhoods in New York City.Since 2005, Fi2W has successfully trained more than 100 immigrant journalists to be radio producers, bloggers and users of social media. Fi2W reporters appear on WNYC, New York Public Radio, PRI’s The World, NPR’s LatinoUSA and other public radio stations and nationally distributed programs as well as numerous blogs and websites.Fi2W journalism has won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, the IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) for the Food in 2 Worlds podcast series, the AP of Michigan, and the Ippies Awards, honoring excellence in New York’s ethnic and community media.Fi2W works with journalists from a broad range of immigrant communities as well as students at The New School.In addition to our public radio partners, we work with a wide variety of organizations and media outlets including the Americas Society and Council of the Americas – AS/COA, City Limits, Public News Service, the FilAm, The Media Consortium, Oakland Local, the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, and many others.Our very first effort was a one-hour
radio documentary called ‘Feet in 2 Worlds: Immigrants in a Global City’ first broadcast in May 2005.Feet in 2 Worlds is a project of the Center for New York City Affairs at The New School.
