Justice reporting gives way to the Stealing Tvlse Summer Tour

Cruising into Q3

Community need is the heartbeat of VNN. While we cover a range of topics throughout the year, each quarter is now in-depth-dedicated to a particular area of notable news need.

Whether it’s across the country or in our own front yard, justice remains a pressing need for too many with too little being done. 

Our Q2 focus on justice reporting saw great strides being taken to champion justice for abused women and Native Americans which has been overdue for hundreds of years. 

And the voices of the oppressed start getting louder, too.

Prison journalism is growing despite attempts to stifle it. 

New Allotment Era stories are finally being told, and more are on the way thanks to funding from the Google News Initiative. 

Thus, it was an easy decision to select the “Stealing Tvlse Summer Tour” as VNN’s focus for Q3 2023. 

Our investigative series with Lucinda Hickory Research Institute researches and reports on crimes committed against Mvskoke people during the Allotment Era and how the impacts from those crimes still impact Muscogee people today. 

Get ready to embark on this exciting journey! Our first trip, to Kansas City, MO, is happening in just a few short weeks.
