INTERVIEW: Journalist Allie Hostler (Hoopa Tribe)

What's it like to cover, as a journalist, your own missing family members, friends, and neighbors? This week we talk with Allie Hostler, editor of the Two Rivers Tribune, a local newspaper in the Hoopa Valley on the Hoopa Reservation. Hoopa is home to many Tribal Nations including the Hoopa, Karuk and Yurok Tribes. Allie shares her “day in the life” as a newspaper editor, what it’s like reporting on missing people in her own community, and the jurisdictional challenges that the Hoopa Tribal police face today.
