The Native American Journalists Association works to serve and empower Native journalists through programs and actions designed to enrich journalism and promote Native cultures. Each year, NAJA recognizes members’ coverage of Indian Country at the National Native Media Awards.
“These awards mean so much to me because they’re given by our Indigenous colleagues,” said Graham Lee Brewer, associate editor on the Indigenous affairs desk and an award winner himself. “Each one is an indication that we are writing for Indigenous communities and not just about them.”
High Country News earned awards in both the professional and associate categories for publications with a circulation of 10,000 readers or more.
“Our Indigenous Affairs desk works tirelessly to tell stories from Indian Country and to center Indigenous voices,” said Greg Hanscom, publisher and executive director at the publication. “It’s wonderful to see their work recognized.”
