Mabie briefed National Press Foundation fellows in October 2024: CNN Hero and Local Reporter: It Comes Down to Trust. 

Nora Mabie covers Indigenous communities for five Lee Enterprises newspapers in Montana – the Billings Gazette, Missoulian, Helena Independent Record, Montana Standard and Ravalli Republic. She has won grants from the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism and from the American Press Institute to support long-form projects on health equity and voter engagement in tribal communities. As part of the Indigenous communities beat she has built at two Montana news entities, Mabie regularly crafts and circulates engagement tools, including surveys, social media callouts and polls to reach diverse sources, build new relationships and enhance trust. She’s also hosted several listening sessions on reservations to further engage community members in her work.
