About the 2019 BorderReport.com Tour
The BorderReport.com Tour was a television and digital news series documenting the lives of people and families living, working and traveling along America’s southern border. This series ran Sunday, September 22, 2019 through Tuesday, October 1, 2019 and enabled viewers and digital users to follow Nexstar’s team of leading multimedia journalists at BorderReport.com for exclusive reporting and never-before-seen coverage from border communities as they embark on a 10-day journey along the U.S.-Mexico.
The tour started in San Diego and concluded in Brownsville, Texas. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, over 300,000 people were apprehended at America’s southwest border in 2018 and that number has increased over the years as more people and families seek asylum in the U.S.. While the complex issue of immigration continues to be hotly debated, this journey along the border is designed to avoid politics and deliver objective stories about everyday people who live, work and travel along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Equipped with Nexstar’s state-of-the-art multi-camera IP vehicle, the team of journalists livestreamed on the road and delivered real-time reporting as they made their way from the hustle of larger cities to the quiet peaceful border towns tucked between the majestic deserts and protected habitats that surround the Rio Grande. The series offers viewers a unique and revealing look at what’s actually happening at the U.S.’s southern border. The IP vehicle is equipped with the latest technology to deliver unprecedented footage from the border, including four point-of-view cameras and high-definition (HD) full color and FLIR thermal night vision rooftop cameras. Using the Twitter hashtag #BorderReport, digital viewers across 100 Nexstar websites and BorderReport.com users could interact with the team of journalists and ask them questions about their coverage and what they experienced on the ground.
