2022 Impact Report

Details

In February 2023, we celebrate our 12th year of delivering Native News to readers throughout Indian Country. For the past dozen years, we’ve covered the most important news stories that are usually overlooked by other media.

Native News Online is proud to share our first impact report to illustrate our growth and impact as a leading digital news organization in Indian Country and how we’ve informed our audience with your support. Our news is free for everyone to read, but it is not free to produce. That’s why we are grateful for our readers who provide financial support to help us tell the stories that are so often ignored, erased, or overlooked.
