The Indigenous Journalists Association is a nonprofit organization that supports and strengthens Indigenous journalism through education, training, and professional programs aimed at enriching reporting and preserving Indigenous cultures. Its work focuses on increasing representation of Indigenous journalists in mainstream media while promoting high standards of professionalism, ethics, and responsible reporting across both mainstream and tribal outlets. Based in Oklahoma, the association serves a largely Indigenous membership and collaborates with other institutions to advance education and advocacy around press freedom, speech, and expression. In recent months, IJA has announced leadership appointments and partnerships that expand its education and training initiatives, including a new director of education and training and collaborations to develop journalism curricula on federal Indian law, tribal sovereignty, and reporting best practices. The organization also operates initiatives such as a freelancer database and internships to connect Indigenous journalists with opportunities, reflecting its broader goal of supporting Native nations and tribal communities through informed storytelling.
