The article profiles journalist Elizabeth Llorente. Suburbs are not always the most promising place to find breaking news, but Llorente has built a reputation for seeing the stories others miss. Llorente looks underneath the roofs of these communities and explores the lives of immigrants as they settle in predominantly white neighborhoods, the fears of these communities as they grapple with change, and the relationships between different minority groups as they interact with, supplant, and, compete with one another. She has transformed the immigration beat at The Record from a celebrating-diversity story in the lifestyle section to front-page news that reveals the true complexity of race and ethnic relations. Immigration is no longer the urban-enclave story it was when Llorente's parents arrived from Cuba in the 1950s. When Llorente was fourteen, her mother died unexpectedly of a cerebral hemorrhage. The following year her father died of a heart attack. Llorente went to live with her brother in Lodi, New Jersey, for a school year and then to an aunt's home in Miami, Florida before attending college at the University of Missouri, where she majored in journalism. The experience heightened the empathy Llorente brings to the stories she reports, and her understanding of the situations many immigrants struggle with. In 1995 Llorente received a tip that an Algerian woman who had come to the U.S. seeking political asylum had been held in a detention center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in prison-like conditions. Llorente broke the story, which launched an investigation by U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. The series, Shackled in the Land of Hope, won a George Polk Award. It also won Llorente a national reputation. Since then she has been offered jobs that have tempted and flattered Llorente but offers she has turned down.

This article deals with the presence of women in the field of journalism in the U.S. The American Society of Newspaper Editors only began gathering data on women in the newsroom in 1999. In 2004, its members reported that the proportion of females had returned to the level tallied that year, about 37 percent, after a two-year decline. Women of color make up just 16 percent of those. Data collected by MediaTenor, an international content analysis company, studied sourcing in 2003, and found that U.S. news programs relegated women to stereotypical fields of expertise, such as health, society and human interest. Overall, international television news stories included women only 14 percent of the time. Similarly, in 2001, women made up just 15 percent of all sources on U.S. network news, and only 9 percent of professional and political voices. The missing female voices resound loudly in their absence. Journalists often seek men to be sources not out of a willful dismissal of the talents of women, psychologists and sociologists suggest, but because of our own unconscious tendencies. In an effort to understand these processes, one team of researchers designed the Implicit Association Test. In its first year-and-a-half of public use, they found that no matter what people said they believed about sex roles, the 600,000 men and women who took the test were far more likely to associate women with liberal arts subjects and men with technical ones.
