Indian Country Today History
Since 1981, Indian Country Today has been a persuasive voice in American Indian journalism, leading the way with accurate and timely reporting, and incisive analysis and commentary. Indian Country Today publishes more original journalistic content on American Indian issues than any other news source.
Our success is due to the professionalism and dedication of our journalists based in key regional locations throughout North America. Whether reporting from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. or conveying the pounding energy of a Southern plains pow wow, Indian Country Today's talented news team finds the essence of what's happening in Indian country and carries it faithfully to our readers.
In 1998, Four Directions Media, Inc., owned and operated by the Oneida Nation of New York, purchased Indian Country Today and established corporate headquarters in New York state. As we enter our third decade of reporting, we have added the viewpoints of correspondents, columnists and photographers to our journalistic core.
Our subscribers in North America and abroad include: Tribal leaders, Native organizations, members of the U.S. Congress, federal government officials, business executives, health professionals, lawyers, educators, students, as well as local and state politicians. They rely on Indian Country Today for an American Indian perspective of unparalleled clarity, consistency, credibility, and focus.
