Journalism in Indian Country: Story Telling That Makes Sense

摘要

Despite its importance, Native American journalism is rarely included in histories of Native peoples or in most histories and analyses of American journalism. This article applies Carey's theory of journalism as a state of consciousness to Native American journalism. It explores approaches early Native American journalists took to apprehending and experiencing the cataclysmic changes taking place in their worlds, establishing written identities for their own communities and among their non-Indian neighbors, and adopting and adapting accepted conventions of American journalism. Further, it examines current Native media that work in and expand on the traditions that began in the early 19th century and amid some of the same challenges experienced then.View full textDownload full textKEYTERMSAmerican Indian media, Elias Boudinot, Native American journalism, native broadcast, native story telling, traditional culturesRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10646175.2010.519590
