We’ve really gotten to know this family, learning about the really hard decisions that they’re making every step of the way. She’s mostly focused on the journey but she’s found a family of 14 refugees that she’s been following. They’re able to show what’s happening in a very immediate way and in a very personal way. What’s unique about it is that they have been traveling with this group for a long time. Tell me about the kind of stories she’s getting.

She and photographers started at the Greek border and literally day after day, she and a photographer, Sergey Ponomarev and then Mauricio Lima, and a videographer, Nabih Bulos, were following these families struggling to figure out how to get across the next border and get across the next country, which papers need to be stamped, when they should wait and be cautious and when they should run through. How long has Anemona Hartocollis been following the migrant story?Īnemona Hartocollis has been in Greece since before this project began a few weeks ago. With the migrants story, the desk had decided that we really wanted to tell the journey of these migrants and capture the movement and the difficulties and the little details of how they go border-to-border in a way that felt immersive and felt like we were embedded with the migrants. We’re always thinking about how we can use these tools to tell a good story and do a story justice. Storybench spoke with Hanna Ingber, an assistant editor on the international desk at The New York Times, who helped coordinate the effort.
It features ongoing short stories in the form of field notes from an embedded reporter, photographers and a videographer, as well as a coordinated social media strategy to broadcast their work. To document the journey of this massive movement of migrants and refugees and the roadblocks and setbacks they are encountering along their way, The New York Times’ s international desk devised a digital strategy. Majid is one of tens of thousands of refugees pushing through Europe as they flee unrest in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa. “Even if Denmark was made of gold, I would not want to stay here, ever.” That’s what Farid Majid, a refugee fleeing the war in Syria, told The New York Times’s Anemona Hartocollis after his family was detained by Danish police for trying to cross from Germany.
