Episode 19: Classroom Essentials: Media as a resource with Shirley Sneve

The representation of Native Americans in media has historically often been inaccurate and inadequate, but recent years have seen an increase in Native voices and topics reflected in journalism. Media can be a powerful way to teach students and provide real-world examples for learning. How do you do it effectively?

In this episode, Allison sits down with journalism leader Shirley Sneve (Ponca Tribe) to discuss using news coverage as a resource in the classroom. Shirley is the vice president of broadcasting with ICT News (formerly Indian Country Today) and senior producer with IndiJ Public Media.
