Despite the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has posed, Cultural Survival's 2020 Indigenous Community Media Youth Fellows are hard at work researching, interviewing, recording, editing, broadcasting, and teaching.
The latest issue of our Cultural Survival Quarterly magazine, "Back to Our Roots: Indigenous Food Solutions" has just been published.
Indigenous women’s voices matter. Cultural Survival supports Indigenous women’s leadership in media. "For a visible life in a limited world" is a training process for Indigenous women communicators in community journalism with an intercultural gender approach. Our trainings support Indigenous women’s leadership in radio by working to improve their radio operations through a series of workshops and exchanges. We train local volunteers in journalism, broadcasting, interviewing, recording, audio editing, and technical skills.
The Central American Indigenous Community Media Alliance promotes Indigenous people’s voices in the media. The Alliance is composed of three organizations: Cultural Survival; EntreMundos; and the Central American Network of Indigenous Community Radio Stations and represents more than 60 radio stations in the seven Central American countries. Together, the Alliance fosters alternative, independent and Indigenous-controlled media, contributing to building democracies and providing relevant and accurate information to the public.
