The Backstory: Border City: Violence, beauty and belonging in Tijuana
Union-Tribune managing editor Lora Cicalo and former Union-Tribune reporter Sandra Dibble discuss “Border City,” a new podcast premiering on April 5 from The San Diego Union-Tribune presented by the Los Angeles Times. “Border City” is the story of Sandra Dibble, a journalist who in 1994 leaves her job and family in Washington, D.C., to report on Tijuana, Mexico, a city known mostly for drug violence and illegal immigration into the U.S. Dibble expects to stay on the border a year. But her plans change as she is drawn deeper and deeper into the worlds that converge at the biggest crossing point on the U.S.-Mexico border. The eight-part series will tell a story of beauty and violence, artists and drug gangs, immigration and belonging – from the perspective of a writer who spent more than 25 years there.
