Indigenous Groups and the Media

Indigenous peoples and other marginalized groups are often not represented in state- and corporate-run media. In what ways have indigenous groups sought to use different media to both preserve their culture and tell their stories to the outside world? What sorts of transnational linkages are available to them to assert their own identities and needs in the global arena? What are the promises and pitfalls of these linkages? What approach would you take to work with an indigenous or marginalized group to tell their story? Give specific examples to support your answer. Draw on the following four authors in your answer: Smith, Halkin, Murillo, Ginsburg.
