A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, Tahlequah journalist and host of "This Land" podcast, Rebecca Nagle, is a 2020 recipient of the American Mosiac Journalism Prize, presented by the Heising-Simons Foundation.
The prize recognizes excellence in long-form, narrative, or deep reporting about underrepresented and/or misrepresented groups in the United States. It recognizes journalism’s ability to foster understanding and aims to support freelance journalists.
“Though our stories are foundational to this country, most often contemporary Native Americans are erased from the news and mainstream media,” Nagle said. “With ‘This Land’ I wanted listeners to learn not only about one Supreme Court case, but about tribal sovereignty and the ongoing fight for Native rights in this country. I am humbled and honored to get this award and hope it serves as an example to media outlets and editors that people are ready to hear Native stories.”
