New Design for Reznet

We've just learned from Denny McAuliffe at the University of Montana that Reznet has launched a new Web design (www.reznetnews.org). Founded in 2002 and touting itself as the "online newspaper for Native America," Reznet (an MTF Journalism Program grantee) hires some 30 Native American college students nationwide as reporters, editors, photographers and multimedia journalists to cover tribal communities or schools during the academic year. Most staff members are grads of the Freedom Forum’s American Indian Journalism Institute, a three-week training and internship program held each June at the University of South Dakota. The site sports a nice new look and new bells and whistles, such as a featured “Native Video of the Day.”
