Indigenous-owned media

Indigenous-owned media are communication platforms—such as radio stations, newspapers, TV channels, or online outlets—that are owned and operated by Indigenous communities or people. They serve to share stories, perspectives, and information that reflect Indigenous cultures, issues, and voices, which are often underrepresented or misrepresented in mainstream media. These outlets help preserve cultural identity, inform community members, and advocate for Indigenous rights. By controlling their own media, Indigenous groups can present authentic narratives and ensure their perspectives are accurately and respectfully shared with broader audiences.
