Check out the radio stories St. Paul Island students produced at #BeringSeaDays! They wrote questions, engineered the interviews, and photographed their guests.

Super excited to share this news!! 🎉🎉🎉 ProPublica to Launch Investigative Reporting Hub in the Northwest https://t.co/DEZ64b1Uno

[E.J. Ramos David, Ph.D. @ejrdavid]

Ok non-Alaskans, let’s practice:

“Alaska Native” “Alaska Native” “Alaska Native”

NOT “Native Alaskan”. NOT “Alaskan Native”.

It’s not that hard. You can do it. I believe in you.

It’s “Alaska Native”. “Alaska Native”. “Alaska Native”.

The #Olympics are over. Now what? Experts say athletes may need even more #mentalhealth support after coming home from the games. My story for @NPR https://t.co/NooiAupXIA

An unintentional moment of gender equality:

The 2022 #WinterOlympics mark the first time a women's cross-country race was longer than the men's.

The men's 50km (shortened to 30km) was actually only 28.4km long.

But women skied a full 30km.

There is only one 50-meter pool in the state of Alaska.

Lydia Jacoby is the first @usaswimming athlete from Alaska.

Now, she's got a gold medal. #TokyoOlympics

Great to see @zsobel13 @agnel88_philip on the front page of @adndotcom today with their great deep dive on the safety of commercial aviation in Alaska. https://t.co/wrNoXWrXTU @KUCBNews

[Agnel Philip 🌵🔎 @agnel88_philip]

It has long been known that flying in Alaska is more dangerous than in the Lower 48. But even as aviation has become much safer across the US, an investigation by @ProPublica & @KUCBNews found some troubling trends in the state. A THREAD on how we did it

@KassandraSundt @PeterGuest @janelledumalaon Alas back in AK. Thanks for thinking of me though!

[Claire Stremple @clairestremple]

Pregnant women in remote Alaska must travel to faraway hospitals for care.

The pandemic makes those trips harder—and shines a light on how tough it is to begin with.

It took Unalaska's clinic only *35 minutes* after this news broke to call me and ask if I was interested in getting vaccinated. Thanks to our local tribal health provider, I've already received dose 1 and I'm glad more people now have access to the vaccine.

[Weekend Edition @NPRWeekend]

The COVID-19 vaccine clinic set up at Sitka, Alaska's civic center looks different from many in the lower 48. No lines. No crowds. And many faces are much younger: https://t.co/JFyE7coCuy

[Krysti Shallenberger @klshall]

Um yeah. Also rural Alaska (most of which are Alaska Native communities) communities are off the road system, depend on unpredictable flight schedules, have one health aide in a village (if any) and no running water and yes, these factors listed below.

[Zoë Sobel @zsobel13]

Ditto. When I started at KUCB, Hannah was one of the stellar reporters at KDLG. Also, truly a kind and caring person.
