Journalism Professor Cristina L. Azocar and Meta G. Carstarphen are the editors of “Indigenous Peoples and the Media” (University of Oklahoma Press). It was published on Aug. 4. 

Azocar and Carstarphen build upon the 2012 book “American Indians and the Mass Media” with a brand-new volume to showcase the diversity and resilience of Indigenous storytelling in today’s media context. Together, their contributors — ranging from media scholars to Indigenous content creators —document experiences, analyze representations and provide a platform for a conversation about how mass media can lead consumers toward social justice.
