This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Here's what I am reading today. Why? Because subsistence foods play a huge role in the lives of Alaskans, and their value, which is particularly outsized in rural communities, is often underestimated.

What I'm reading: www.adn.com/alaska-news/... Questions I have: 1. is this Individual or Public Assistance? There's a big difference. 2. This didn't come quickly. Why the delay? 3. Is this an Emergency or Major Disaster Declaration? the difference is key & directly impacts response capabilities

Trump approved $25 million for Halong *Biden approved $200 million for Merbok. *Argentina $40 million *Kristi Noem Jets $172 million *Destroying the White House $200+ million *Trump demands $230 from DOJ *AIDEA Alaska Industrial Development Export Authority $50 million for Ambler Road

Breaking: Now I am reading this: www.kyuk.org/alaska-state... Declaration request approved.

here's what i am reading today: www.adn.com/alaska-news/... Indefinite displacement of hundreds of Americans and yet no federal disaster declaration. It's a piece of paper on someones desk in DC. In Alaska, this is a humanitarian crisis.

Here's what I am reading today: www.kyuk.org/arts-culture... ... and I'm wondering about that request for a federal disaster declaration.

If you're a news organization using footage from storm ravaged communities in Alaska, maybe throw some cash at the creators. Footage should not be free. And the people you're soliciting it from have been displaced indefinitely with not much other than the clothes they were wearing.

Here's what I am reading today: www.adn.com/alaska-news/... The two questions everyone in Alaska is asking right now is 1. what happens next? and 2. Why hasn't the Trump Administration signed a federal disaster declaration yet?

I have questions: 1. Why did it take nearly a week? 2. Do AK's tribal leaders know they can make a govt-to-govt requests for their communities? 3. Gov. Dunleavy said the damage surpasses the state’s ability & capacity to respond w/o fed support. What is AK lacking? www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

HEre's what I am reading today: theconversation.com/typhoon-leav... Why? Because: Yes. This is potentially worse than Katrina.

The massive storm flooded communities and destroyed homes Sunday when it slammed into the coast of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, bringing with it destructive winds and high waters. (From KYUK - Bethel and @alaskapublic.org)

What does Typhoon Halong reveal about housing conditions in Western Alaska? Here's a thread...👇

Well, this is unexpected, but also quite welcome.

here's what I am reading today: www.npr.org/2025/10/08/n... Why? Because who doesn't love science, polar exploration and a break from all the relentless bad news these days.

it's a little more nuanced than that... but yes, this is what I am reading today.

Bari Weiss has officially been announced as the editor in chief of CBS News. “She’s not a reporter; she’s never been in the field,” a 60 Minutes producer told Adam Piore for a recent profile of CBS. “Talk about controversies.” www.cjr.org/feature/cbs-...

journalists always love being thanked. It rarely happens. Have you thanked one of us for protecting your first amendment rights today?

URGENT: Write a letter to your lawmakers using our action center tool telling them to vocally oppose journalist Mario Guevara's deportation and to do so quickly. Guevara could be kicked out of the country as early as TODAY. He is legally authorized to work here and is not charged with any crime.

From @jpradio.bsky.social @romanbattaglia.com — another example of why we need reporters everywhere.

While documenting unfolding events two journalists sheltering behind a van were directly targeted by ICE agents firing pepper balls. One round struck a woman in the nose, leaving her bleeding. 9:00 a.m. September 25th outside the Broadview ice facility

In case anyone thought ICE shooting at journalists was just an LA thing. Or that they'd cut it out after repeated warnings from judges. Nope. More of the same in Chicago.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

if i had a dollar for every time someone in journalism over 20+ years told me about "getting my foot in the door," well, I would not have as many dollars as Taylor Swift, who owns the door and what's behind it, but I'd still expect to be paid and supported for my time, skills and creative effort.

I have also been wondering this. Where are all the movie stars and Hollywood socialites willing to write letters and make donations large enough to allow America's small and essential rural public radio stations to continue to provide the vital public service that we do?

here's what i am reading today. Why? Because these are overlooked and potentially devastating natural disasters that deserve attention before they happen, not after.

Applying for journalism jobs has hit a new low. An AI generated relevancy score is unlikely to highlight my skills in data gathering & analysis, filing records requests or my subject matter expertise in infrastructure development & disaster management. And my resume says Alaska, so I'm too far away.

This looks bad: Monday afternoon report of rock slides and building collapses at Elfin Cove, on Chichagof Island in northern Southeast Alaska. #akwx #ExtremeWeather @spiraledu.bsky.social @alaska.bsky.social

A dark day for Northwest journalism: @cascadepbs.bsky.social is axing the @cascadepbsnewsroom.bsky.social, laying off 17 people, per internal memo obtained by @kuow.org. Cascade PBS got ~10% of its budget from Corp. for Public Broadcasting. Unclear why its whole newsroom had to be axed.

By contrast, my high school economics teacher was the football coach. Half the team was in that class. I was the only woman. My investment strategies won a national award while the football team blew their money on the WWF, the NFL & cage fighting. My econ teacher also taught me how to smirk.

Long-form is an art and essential for context and understanding. The journalism blows just keep coming.

BREAKING: Cascade PBS, which operates the website Crosscut, is laying off 19 people, reportedly including its entire news staff. In an email to staff, CEO Rob Dunlop blamed federal cuts, saying the nonprofit is "winding down our longform, written journalism."

My interpretation of this: The dream of a happy-go-lucky, fun, fabulously coifed and well-informed career in journalism is fully dead. very timely. I'll be fully unemployed in 9 days. (but who's counting?!)

Here's what i am reading today. Why? Because even in Alaska, we seem to all forget that America is an Arctic Nation: alaskabeacon.com/briefs/arcti...

this story says nothing about the people who actually work at these stations and for us, it's been radio silence about what happens to us. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

Please read my new investigation with the amazing @wbur.org and @propublica.org about what happens when no one can be held responsible for a rape.

Hardly surprising, but terminating funding to support Alaska Native programs and services is a real gut-punch nonetheless. #UAF #AlaskaSky #UA

i am reading today. Why? Specifically because of what @scotthorton.bsky.social points out: "This story, of equal or greater important to the Kirk shooting, is getting no material media coverage."

here's what i am reading today.

This is what I am reading today: www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro... I'm still trying to make sense of this wildly historic summit in Alaska, and the more nuanced details of what it means for the American Arctic.

This is what I am reading today - and it's a big win for subsistence fishing across Alaska: nativefederation.org/wp-content/u...

What I am reading this morning.

It's not only about the war in Ukraine. There is so much nuance to this moment - two nations desperate for deeper investment & presence in the Arctic... and now in the American subarctic, for only a few hours.

definitely the most crazy, historic, surreal and fascinating thing we will see today!

watching the jet carrying Russia's president taxi on a US military base runway is absolutely wild!

watching the live c-span feed on Alaska's largest newspaper's website. Why? Because local news is the best kind of news! www.adn.com/politics/202...

guess who is here: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
