National Native News provides listeners with relevant, timely coverage on Native American and Indigenous communities. The program began in 1987 and is currently produced in Albuquerque, New Mexico. NNN appeals to radio listeners who are engaged in the world around them and who seek out a broader range of viewpoints.
National Native News is a headline news service that provides a Native perspective. NNN is distributed by Native Voice One (NV1) and can be heard on radio stations across the US and Canada.
Antonia Gonzales, anchor and producer, is a member of the Navajo Nation and grew up in Arizona and New Mexico. She received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mass Communication and Journalism from the University of New Mexico and minored in Native American Studies. Antonia is a former board member of the Native American Journalists Association (NAJA), which serves and empowers Native journalists.
