According to a 2008 "newsroom census" by the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE), the total number of full-time journalists at daily newspapers decreased by 4.4% last year--about 2,400 journalists left daily reporting jobs because of buyouts or layoffs. Despite this trend, the percentage of minority journalists increased slightly since last year. Even more promising, the number of Native Americans in newsroom positions is increasing--including supervisors, online producers, reporters, artists, and videographers. In 1999, 241 Native Americans worked in newsrooms in the United States while last year, 284 Native Americans held such positions, according to ASNE's latest study. Native students who have gone through specialized training programs are actually "hot property in high demand," according to Denny McAuliffe (Osage), formerly a reporter and foreign desk assistant editor at the "Washington Post". McAuliffe has been involved in recruiting and training Native American college students in journalism for 10 years. For the last two years, ASNE researchers have counted full-time journalists who work online. This year, a total of 1,700 newsroom staffers produced news that appeared on the web and almost 18% of this number were minority journalists. In this article, the author discusses the most promising opportunities that lie in new forms of digital media and the internet. Ways Native journalism students have embraced the new technologies to tell their stories are also described.
