Native America Calling: The continuing legacy of Native newspapers
Tuesday, May 3, 2022
The continuing legacy of Native newspapers
Since the Cherokee Phoenix first started in 1828, Native newspapers have filled a vital role in informing the public and giving a critical Native perspective on issues.
Broadcast news, online outlets, and social media have all cut into the reach of printed newspapers. But newspapers still hold a vital connection for many Native people wanting to stay informed.
Native America Calling will talk with Native editors about the importance of news on the printed page.
Guests on Native America Calling
Tyler Thomas (Cherokee), executive editor for Cherokee Phoenix
Duane Beyal (Diné), editor for Navajo Times
Lori Ann Edmo (Shoshone-Bannock), editor for Sho-Ban News
