Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
The actions at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota continue. While mainstream media coverage is lacking, Native, citizen and independent journalists have been using social media to share anything from profiles within the Oceti Sakowin Camp, to live Facebook video of on-the-ground actions. We share interviews from a grassroots media group called the Voices of Standing Rock.
Making Contact Community Storytelling Fellow, Vincent Medina is a Chochenyo Ohlone Native American who is a part of a young generation working to revitalize the Chochenyo language for future generations.
