A chat with Andrew Kitchenman, editor of the Alaska Beacon, about this new publication and their promising crew of veteran journalists focused on becoming a trusted source for state government and politics news.
Hello Alaska explores what makes Alaska what it is, how we got here and where we’re going. A project by journalist Matt Buxton and filmmaker, illustrator and small business-owner Pat Race. We’ll be diving into civics, politics, history and just about anything having to do with the 49th State. Find out more about Hello Alaska at HelloAlaska.pizza.
In this episode we chat with The Blue Alaskan about anonymity, journalism, and the shop element of being a prominent anonymous blogger covering municipal government in Alaska’s biggest city.
Our first interview with Blue took place on March 29th and we decided it would be best to wait and release it after everyone cooled off from the Anchorage municipal elections.
