“As a journalist, the lack of Native people in newsrooms, it’s not a diversity problem, it’s a journalism problem.”— rebeccanagle
No, she was being genuine. I do think genuine, like that was what she had thought, that she didn’t realize that Native American people were still alive. And meeting me was like learning new information. [Laughs]Yeah, and I think Indigenous people, we experience that on a micro scale like that, and then, as Crystal’s research has really pointed out, on a macro scale.
So I think that’s part of it, advocating to these major media companies on their hiring practices, and creating these pathways for Native people to be working in front of the camera, behind the camera, in newsrooms, and really doing that intense advocacy with these different companies, where the prevailing myth is “Well, there are just no qualified folks out there.
But also, the proof is in the pudding. We are seeing a slow shift, but even last year with the two shows that came out, you know, when looking at the Nielson screen report, our representation in terms of screen time is really remaining stagnant, it’s 0.4% on streaming services, and that’s the biggest place where you’re going to see Native people. But when we get into cable and broadcast, those numbers are dismal, like 0.05% and 0.08%.
