I so enjoyed being introduced to the Nizhoni Girls’ music and story (“Nizhóní Girls,” HCN, 2/4/19). The decision by HCN to dive into a medium rarely seen in reporting made me think more deeply about what exactly journalism is, and why some forms might be unfairly thought of as less rigorous, less serious, or less deserving of respect than others. Hoping to see more of this visual storytelling in the issues to come.
