Bad Press
In 2018, out of 574 federally recognised tribes, the Muscogee Nation (the fourth largest Native American tribe) was one of only five to establish a free and independent press - until the tribe's legislative branch abruptly repealed the landmark Free Press Act in advance of an election.\n\nThe tribe's hard-hitting news outlet, Mvskoke Media, would now be subject to direct editorial oversight by the tribal government. One defiant Musgogee journalist refuses to accept this flagrant act of oppression. As brave as she is blunt, Angel Ellis battles against the corrupt faction of the Muscogee National Council. As the election nears, Angel and her allies rally for press freedoms by inciting a voter-supported constitutional amendment.\n\nAn enthralling, edge-of-your-seat nail-biter that unfurls with the energy and suspense of a political thriller. Bad Press is a timely and unprecedented story about the battle for freedom of the press and against state-censored media.
