***Border Report*** is an American [news website](/source/News_website) owned by [Nexstar Media Group](/source/Nexstar_Media_Group). It was launched in the spring of 2019 and focuses on news reporting along the [Mexico–United States border](/source/Mexico%E2%80%93United_States_border). At launch, its reporters included Sandra Sanchez, based in [McAllen, Texas](/source/McAllen%2C_Texas), and Julian Resendiz, a [KTSM-TV](/source/KTSM-TV) reporter based in [El Paso](/source/El_Paso%2C_Texas).[1][2] News stories are published on the website and [broadcast](/source/Television_broadcasting) on Nexstar [television stations](/source/Television_station) across the border region.[1]

In September 2021, while reporting for the *Border Report* on the [Del Rio Bridge migrant surge](/source/Del_R%C3%ADo%E2%80%93Ciudad_Acu%C3%B1a_International_Bridge) in Texas, Sanchez was detained by [Laughlin Air Force Base](/source/Laughlin_Air_Force_Base) military police for 45 minutes after photographing signs outside the base's gates. In a live blog on the website, Sanchez said that military police claimed she had illegally entered federal property. Sanchez was later released without charges.[3]

## *Border Report Tour*

The *Border Report Tour*, a ten-day project covering news stories along the Mexico–US border, launched in September 2019.[4] The series was anchored by Sanchez, Resendiz, and Nexstar Washington D.C. correspondent Anna Wiernicki.[2] The tour started in [San Diego](/source/San_Diego) on September 22 and ended in [Brownsville, Texas](/source/Brownsville%2C_Texas) on October 1. According to Chris Berg, content development director at Nexstar, the mission of the tour project was to "provide a daily look at the lives of the people who live and work along the U.S.-Mexico border." News content created on the tour was broadcast on some Nexstar TV stations, particularly those in the [Southwest](/source/Southwestern_United_States), and via online streaming.[4]

## Reception

Writing in the *[Columbia Journalism Review](/source/Columbia_Journalism_Review)*, Meaghan Winter described *Border Report* as having a clear mission for its journalists, contrasting with the guiding principle that Nexstar passes down to station managers—"commitment to localism"—which Winter describes as "amorphous and lackluster". Winter further noted that *Border Report* was able to reach more viewers than a single local newspaper or TV station could, by having its stories air on various TV stations near the border.[1]
