Sahan Journal, a digital news organization that serves immigrant commutes and people of color in Minnesota, produced a series of videos in 5 different languages to provide more clarity.  

Ben Hovland and Joey Peters joined Cathy Wurzer to talk about their effort to combat misinformation and connect with readers in their first language.
