NAPT Joins NAJA at Annual Convention
|
Native American Public Telecommunications (NAPT) is partnering this year with the Native American Journalists Association (NAJA) to expand the focus of NAJA's annual convention.
"Because of the convergence of the many forms of media, NNMC will offer something for everyone engaged in the media. From multi-media reporting, utilizing the Internet and social media tools, graphic design, marketing, creative writing, public relations, art and photography, radio, TV and film, we're hoping that Native media professionals and students will attend to learn skills and meet each other," NAPT Executive Director Shirley K. Sneve said. "In times of scarce resources, it becomes more important for Tribal people to reach out to each other for support and partnerships."
