Caring for journalists is not a luxury, and it is not separate from the work. It is part of protecting the people who carry journalism forward and protecting journalism itself. Thank you @knightcenterut.bsky.social @summerharlow.bsky.social @rosental.bsky.social #ISOJ for the space!

Cultural Survival is a proud sponsor of the 2026 Indigenous Media Conference! Since 1972, we've advocated for Indigenous rights, cultures, and self-determination through grantmaking, advocacy, capacity building, and communications. Learn more about our vision at cs.org ✊🏽✨ #IMC2026
A promotional graphic for Cultural Survival, set against a grid background composed of numerous past magazine covers.
At the top, the large white text reads "Cultural Survival" featuring a stylized stick-figure logo in the center, above a horizontal bar containing the word "QUARTERLY." Below this, text reads "of Amplifying Indigenous Voices." On the left, a circular yellow and orange seal reads "Celebrating Cultural Survival, 1976 to 2026 / 50 YEARS."
Four sample magazine covers are displayed side-by-side:
"Pathways to Healing" showing hands holding a bowl.
"Rekindling Indigenous Kinship and Foodways" showing hands holding green food.
"Sacred Strength: Indigenous Women Rooted in Mother Earth's Wisdom" showing a group photo.
"Brazil is Indigenous Land" featuring a person in traditional attire.
Below the covers, a large logo reads "MOTHER EARTH MEDICINE" in a stylized, geometric font next to an orange, diamond-shaped geometric pattern. Beneath the logo, the subtitle reads "An Ancestral Intelligence Podcast to Heal Our Future."
Further down, text says "Listen to our new podcast:" followed by the website URL "www.cs.org/mem" in large orange font.
At the very bottom, white text states, "Cultural Survival is proud to sponsor the 2026 INDIGENOUS MEDIA CONFERENCE," accompanied by the "IMC" Indigenous Media Conference logo on the bottom right. The image has solid orange borders on the left and right sides.
