The growing strength of Native women in news
Bylines for Native women are increasingly showing up in newspapers and in TV news, adding an important perspective for general readers and viewers.

Once virtually absent in mainstream newsrooms, Native women are reporting on hard-hitting political issues and are often driving the narrative on issues important for all Native people. They are winning awards and recognition from established news sources.
