Tim Giago in S.D. Newspaper Hall of Fame

Wednesday, November 14, 2007  

Tim Giago, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, was inducted into the South Dakota Newspaper Hall of Fame last week.

Giago founded The Lakota Times newspaper on the Pine Ridge Reservation. It became Indian Country Today, which was the largest independent Indian newspaper before being purchased by the Oneida Nation of New York.

Giago went on to start The Lakota Journal before his retirement in 2004. He continues to publish his "Notes from Indian Country" column in media outlets across the nation, including Indianz.Com and The Huffington Post.

Giago is the first Native American in the South Dakota Newspaper Hall of Fame.
