Coverage Of American Muslims Is Bigoted And Inaccurate. This Group Is Using Hard Facts To Fix It.
Time magazine is getting a lot of attention for its provocative new cover that shows President Donald Trump looking down at a frightened child asylum-seeker.
It’s also provoking people to ask the magazine to compensate the 2-year-old Honduran asylum-seeker as they would a professional model.
The names of the toddler and her mother have not been released. They crossed into the United States from Mexico last week and were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and taken to a processing center.
A photo of the girl taken by Getty Images photographer John Moore has gone viral, which is why Time magazine remixed it for the cover.

Since the photo of the girl might be considered “news,” Time isn’t legally obligated to pay a modeling fee to the girl.
However, some people think they should be morally obligated.
.@KiraPollack @jbmoorephoto How about if Time Magazine pays this little girl - just as the magazine would pay a supermodel who appeared on its cover? Why doesn't @Time seed fund a trust account for her legal assistance and education? #RightThingToDo https://t.co/WbTgyIWIC3
