| Abstract: |
The article reports on the challenges and adaptations facing journalism in Alaska, focusing on the revival of the "Anchorage Press" and the acquisition of the "Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman" by Amy Bushatz, founder and editor of the "Mat-Su Sentinel." It discusses how the decline of print media is attributed to the internet and social media, leading to the closure of several newspapers and the emergence of new, often nonprofit, models to sustain local news coverage. The article also highlights the efforts of various journalists and organizations, such as the Alaska News Coalition, to collaborate and secure funding to ensure the viability of local reporting.
