Muscogee citizen Sterling Cosper (he/him) is membership manager for the Native American Journalists Association, where he is a former a board member, and is former president of the Society of Professional Journalists, Oklahoma Chapter where he is still a board member.

He was manager of Mvskoke Media at Muscogee Nation and resigned in November 2018 due to the tribal government’s repeal of the original MCN free press law. A free press law has since been reinstated and strengthened through placement in the tribal constitution. He remains an advocate for tribal free press in alignment with NAJA’s values and mission.
