The Media Blueprint Project

Native Public Media launches new projectNative Public Media recently announced the launch of its Media Blueprint Project naming Sascha Meinrath to work with Peggy Berryhill, Muscogee, director of media architecture and services as the lead research consultant. According to Loris Ann Taylor, Hopi, executive director, the Media Blueprint Project will determine how the Native media network can utilize new media technologies and platforms to enhance and expand the media capacity of Native America.

Key to the development of next-generation media is access to broadband media technologies, the nerve center of global communications. American Indian communities have received both poor broadband services and little attention in national Internet use surveys. The first phase of the Media Blueprint Project will document the on-the-ground realities among Native people to provide a much-needed intervention to address current inequities.
