Covering Indigenous Communities Better With Solutions Journalism

Indigenous newsrooms are covering what their tribes are doing to solve big problems. Indigenous journalists at IRE AccessFest showcased their work covering health equity or environment: how they got those stories, how they did them with rigor, and how they built trust and engagement in a community tired of being defined largely through its problems. Listen to the conversation featuring Allison Herrera, a 2025-26 JSK Journalism Fellow; Chad Hunter from Cherokee Phoenix; and Christine Trudeau from Underscore Native News and moderated by Angela K. Evans, SJN's director of communities of practice.
