Indigenous truths must be shared says Pulitzer-prize winner
Advocating for truth, sharing Indigenous stories and navigating a fast-changing media industry are all in a day’s work for Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Connie Walker.
She and her investigative team at Gimlet Media not only won a Pulitzer for Stolen: Surviving St. Michael’s they also received a Peabody Award for excellence in storytelling.
Walker shared her journey with fellow journalists and students at the Indigenous Peoples, Media and Democracy conference, hosted at the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) in May.
“Journalism is essential to democracy,” she told EFN Media following her keynote. “Having journalists help the public be better informed and understand the truth, is crucial.”
