‘Today’s generation of Iranian women reporters are doing big things. Their mark will be left on history.’

After working for more than a decade at the now banned Iranian magazine Zanan, a journalist now in the United States describes her feelings of identity, location and loss.

‘Anyone who did research on women’s issues benefitted from hundreds of articles, stories and interviews that were featured in Zanan.’

‘Most notable was the story line in which Latino voters were described in ways that made them seem monolithic.’

Those who tell Indian people’s stories are ‘expected to be truthful, responsible, accurate and excellent communicators.’

Without American Indian journalists, potential news stories are untold and the complexities of issues aren’t addressed.

For Native students, a summer journalism institute, an online newspaper, and internships can lead to full-time jobs.

‘What we found is a conversation fraught with frustration and mistrust.’

Before and after the Times’s debacle, American newspapers are still ‘telling our readers an incomplete, inaccurate story.’

‘The coverage of the scandal showed once again that African Americans are still not allowed to be seen as individuals when they fail.’
