It was quite a week at ICT.
On October 19, IndiJ Public Media and ICT President Karen Lincoln Michel, Ho-Chunk, received the Carol Jenkins Award at the Women’s Media Center gala in New York City.
“The Women’s Media Center’s call to action is simple: We want to see more diverse women, hear more diverse women, and read articles from more diverse women across all media platforms. Our Women’s Media Awards honor champions for women who set the standard for what media should look like when it gives voice to the female half of the country. They are role models, history-makers, and inspiring leaders,” said Julie Burton, president & CEO of the Women’s Media Center.
And Mark Trahant, Shoshone-Bannock, ICT’s editor-at-large, was inducted into the National Native American Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City.
Michel and Trahant interviewed each other about their awards, their careers, and the importance of ICT as a nonprofit media company.
