Gabriel San Román Wins Ruben Salazar Award for Journalism on Self-Deportation
Gabriel San Román, a reporter for Times Community News, has been awarded the Ruben Salazar Award by the California Chicano News Media Association. The award recognizes his work on a feature story about self-deportation, focusing on Arturo, a man who moved his family from Anaheim to Tijuana in search of better opportunities. The story, published in the Daily Pilot & TimesOC, explores the challenges faced by undocumented immigrants in the U.S., including limited job opportunities and access to social programs. San Román's reporting sheds light on the changing perceptions of self-deportation, especially in the context of the current administration's immigration policies.
