Douglas attends National Native Media Conference In July 2018, Siletz student Jessica Douglas attended the National Native Media Conference in Miami, Fla., for the first time. The conference consisted of workshops and lectures that focused specifically on the issues in Indian County. The Native American Journalists Association partnered with the National Associa- tion of Hispanic Journalists to host the four-day conference. Douglas is a student at the University of Oregon pursing a journalism degree and a Native studies and art minor. This fall, with the help of other Native journalists at UO, Jessica will work to establish a Native American Journalists Association chapter at the SOJC (School of Journalism and Communication). 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Once again, USDA Food & Nutrition Services has increased the income guide rate to receive food from our program.
