ICT’s digital and broadcast news platforms offer a variety of ways to amplify your brand awareness and messaging goals by magnifying your brand reach.
With this bold new step into public television, ICT has become a spacious channel through which it distributes news across multiple platforms. Coverage includes FREE digital and broadcast news featuring community, healthcare, education, climate change, government, business, sports, arts, entertainment, and more, from Indigenous journalists.
Our partnerships in strategic locations allow us to hire journalists to report on issues important to Indigenous communities, resulting in news coverage with significant impact. IndiJ Public Media’s expansion into some of the largest Indigenous populations in the U.S. allows ICT to routinely cover topics often missed by mainstream news outlets. Our stories provide historical and regional context to major issues facing Native America, including health care, education, treaty rights, climate change, land rights, and language revitalization, in addition to celebrating our culture. This localized approach to reporting enables us to engage communities on the ground, deepening our connections and expanding the range of stories we report on. That’s impact!
There is no single news organization with the reach or depth of ICT’s digital and broadcast coverage on stories that impact these Indigenous communities, or the deep knowledge of our cultures, legal frameworks, and tribal sovereignty, that leads to a more accurate representation of who we are as Indigenous people. By serving as the voice for our communities, we highlight the unique challenges that impact readers, viewers, and listeners on a daily basis and connect them to tribes throughout the country facing similar circumstances. As a result, our reporting creates a more informed and engaged public and inspires increased civic participation through access to accurate, fact-based information.
ICT’s social media accounts offer a platform for real-time authentic audience engagement. The website is a destination for all things Native American: news, culture, and ideas. The ICT website www.ictnews.org receives over 40% of our traffic from social media while 55% of our audience visits from a mobile device.
The ICT Newscast with Aliyah Chavez is the only broadcast news program that brings audiences Indigenous storytelling through the context of the history and cultures of Natives. The half-hour newscast airs Monday through Friday on more than 200 stations in every state, Australia, and Canada.
We deliver 51,000 emails every Thursday to our subscribers. The free content is a roundup of top news and events from Indigenous communities. In-depth relevant coverage of Native America. ICT’s The Weekly email has an open rate of 28%. ICT’s Special e-blasts with a feature story are sent periodically when there is important news.
The journalism produced by ICT is free and available for everyone. To continue delivering quality news reports through our digital platform and daily newscast, we need your support.
