Time.com video: Tribal radio fills airwaves in rural communities
Jesse Hardman has created a great tribal radio video for Time. It was great to recently view the piece online. Hardman and I worked on a joint tribal radio-media project while at Harvard University. We both took a class on Native nation building with Joe Kalt. Meanwhile, congratulations to Hardman for keeping the story of tribal radio alive. And to everyone else, keep supporting those tribal radio stations! Also, a reminder that the the broadband stimulus deadlines for rural and underserved areas is fast approaching, Aug. 14 to be exact. Check out the Native Public Media site for more information. It was great to meet some of the folks at Native Public Media, such as Peggy Berryhill, at the recent Indian Country-Federal Communications Commission meeting in Rpaid City, S.D.
