Journalism in Indigenous Communities Matters
Do you want to be part of the new wave of Indigenous journalists and media storytellers making a difference in Indigenous communities and newsrooms across Turtle Island?
Our community members consume news daily – whether from a community radio station, a First Nation newsletter, podcasts, social media feeds, mainstream media newscasts and newspapers, or all of the above. Whatever the medium, we look for news stories that inform, entertain, and assist us in building prosperous futures for our Nations.
