College news media forced to adapt to protect students afraid of deportation

Student journalists at Boston's colleges and universities are having to rethink their usual policies around granting anonymity and taking down old stories as international students, afraid of losing their visas, try to avoid drawing attention.

The article from MassLive, published on April 15, 2025, discusses the challenges faced by college news media in adapting to protect students who fear deportation due to their immigration status. As political tensions and immigration policies have intensified, many students, particularly those from undocumented backgrounds, are increasingly wary of having their identities exposed in media coverage. In response, college newspapers and media outlets are implementing new policies and practices, such as anonymizing sources, using pseudonyms, and being more cautious about the information they publish. These measures aim to ensure the safety and privacy of vulnerable students while still reporting on important issues affecting their campus communities. The article highlights specific examples from various colleges where these changes have been put into practice, illustrating the broader trend of media adaptation in the face of heightened immigration concerns.
