Indigenous journalism, media innovation, and social change: A review of previous research and call for more critical approaches

Niamh Ní Bhroin, Stine Agnete Sand, Torkel Rasmussen · 2021 · Nordicom review/NORDICOM review

Summary. Indigenous journalism enables Indigenous voices to reach public audiences and drive social change. Media innovations like the Internet, mobile technology, and social media have expanded Indigenous journalism's reach. However, research rarely examines how these technologies actually shape Indigenous journalism production or whether they genuinely challenge power structures or reinforce them. The authors call for more critical research into media innovation's real impact on Indigenous journalism and social change.
