Corporate Profiteering, Armchair Journalists and the Fight for Dignity
Censored News
http://www.bsnorrell.blogspot.com
When Indian Country Today decided to get rid of its real reporters, it
hired armchair journalists, plagiarizes who would steal the hard work of
others.
The traditional Oneida clan women struggled for years to
prevent what is happening today with the Oneida Nation in New York,
which owns the newspaper. The Oneida women struggled to maintain the
traditional ways and leaders, and struggled against it becoming a casino
corporation. The women, including the Shenandoah family, were persecuted by the tribal politicians.
Censored News was created after longtime ICT staff
reporter Brenda Norrell was censored, then forced into bankruptcy
because the newspaper would not reimburse the expenses required to do
the work, and then finally terminated without cause.
Even then, when
Brenda Norrell was working unpaid at Censored News, ICT engaged in the
theft of Norrell's work, violated a photo copyright, and plagiarized
other work.
Today, Censored News is in its 7th year, with more than 2
million views, and publishes a collective of Indigenous writers, and
other grassroots and human rights activists.
Thanks to all of you for maintaining the war against deception, and the fight for truth and dignity!
