"The WeChat channel 纽约移民记事网Documented (or the New York Immigrant Chronicle) is part newsfeed and part public service. The channel, run by the nonprofit newsroom Documented NYC, is filled with local news for Chinese speakers in New York: stories about healthcare and immigration arrests, but also information on local events like toy giveaways, places where families can get free groceries, and affordable housing lottery listings."
"Followers can also contact reporters directly - to send them tips, of course, but followers also turn to Documented for essential questions: Where can I find free English classes? What should I expect at an upcoming court date? Should I travel as a green card holder? For many newsrooms, WeChat isn't the first place you'd think of to distribute news. But April Xu, who covers New York's Chinese community, realized Documented needed to have a presence on it."
Documented NYC operates a WeChat channel called 纽约移民记事网 (New York Immigrant Chronicle) that combines news and public-service information for Chinese speakers in New York. The channel provides reporting on healthcare and immigration arrests, listings for affordable housing lotteries, notices about free groceries and toy giveaways, and practical answers about English classes, court expectations, and travel as a green card holder. Followers can message reporters directly for tips and urgent guidance. Documented also uses WhatsApp and Nextdoor to reach immigrant communities. The outreach prioritizes direct connections and essential resources amid intensifying immigration raids.
