Is anyone stopping indigenous people from applying to journalism schools? Maybe they should ask one of the many indigenous journalists I hear on radio, TV and well, everywhere. There is APTN … so what the heck are you talking about? Are you going out and forcing people to be journalists? Isn’t there anything else to report about? Will be skipping this site.
