Nome, Home: Gimme a brake
http://nomeak.blogspot.com/2007/07/gimme-brake.html
A news reporter's unofficial take on life in bush Alaska. Someone in Ted Stevens' office. Is looking forward to the August Congressional recess:. 8217;s warning centered around several specific safety features that are missing from the imported Chinese ATVs, including front breaks, parking breaks, and an ability to start the vehicle in gear. Would that be the August break or brake? Yes, I am not exactly perfect in this regard on this blog but I don't get paid for this.). Posted by Jesse Zink.

Nome, Home: Does this surprise anyone?
http://nomeak.blogspot.com/2007/07/does-this-surprise-anyone.html
A news reporter's unofficial take on life in bush Alaska. Does this surprise anyone? Does the news that Don Young is under federal investigation. Come as a surprise to anyone at all? It seems to me that he long ago stopped caring about what Alaskans wanted and opted to use his position as he saw fit. A couple of questions:. Why is the Wall Street Journal, and not say, KTUU. Or Alaska AP, breaking this story? How does this tilt the mental scales that people like Ethan Berkowitz. Posted by Jesse Zink.

A news reporter's unofficial take on life in bush Alaska. The Effect of Budget Cuts. The company that owns the ADN. Isn't so much interested in reporting on all the news that's important to Alaskans. A while back, I understand they cut funding for their Washington, D.C. reporter. I heard they had one guy covering Idaho and Alaska issues in Washington but I haven't seen any articles. That means with Sarah Palin. Where's that money going to come from? For a half-billion dollars down on a pipeline? The chai...

Nome, Home: Lost his way
http://nomeak.blogspot.com/2007/07/lost-his-way.html
A news reporter's unofficial take on life in bush Alaska. Poor Don Young. He's forgotten what he was sent to Washington to do and his career is collapsing around him. The people of the Great Land want him to represent their interests in Congress. But Don keeps forgetting that. As his former aides get indicted, he spends more money. Than any other representative on legal fees and yet can't apparently bring himself to tell his constituents why that might be necessary. When he finally decides to act. On beh...

Nome, Home: Who cares what we think?
http://nomeak.blogspot.com/2007/07/who-cares-what-we-think.html
A news reporter's unofficial take on life in bush Alaska. Who cares what we think? Every morning when I check out KTUU's. Web site, my stomach sort of twists when I see KTUU's. Latest survey of its viewers on the pressing issue of the day. Normally, the question is some sort of innocuous. Leading question of the viewers and I pay it little attention. But I found this one. Do you think there will be another major oil discovery on the North Slope? Posted by Jesse Zink. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nome, Home: A Hollow Answer
http://nomeak.blogspot.com/2007/07/hollow-answer.html
A news reporter's unofficial take on life in bush Alaska. Lisa Murkowski's comments on the Kenai land deal. Continue to strike me as hollow:. Murkowski voiced irritation with the Alaska media on how the story has been portrayed. In an interview this afternoon, she claimed to have been friends with Penney since she was five years old and it was simply a deal between longtime friends. The senator also emphasized that she paid a fair price at the Kenai Borough's assessed value. I like Lisa a lot and I don't...

Nome, Home: Safety
http://nomeak.blogspot.com/2007/07/safety.html
A news reporter's unofficial take on life in bush Alaska. I was quizzed in the comments recently as to why I said. The recent mine fatalities at Rock Creek would add fuel to the fire of controversy about the mine. I don't think I was journalistically "salting the story" (though that may just be an unconscious reflex by this point) and yes, it is true, the controversy is primarily about procedural and environmental concerns. Posted by Jesse Zink. Little knew to report"? Hi Jesse - I suppose that is a poin...

Nome, Home: Gone
http://nomeak.blogspot.com/2007/07/gone.html
A news reporter's unofficial take on life in bush Alaska. I'll be out of town and away from Internet access (yes, such places still exist) until Tuesday so don't bother checking back until then. There's too much beautiful country around here not to take advantage of it. While I'm gone, see how the state media covers (if at all), the deaths last night of two workers at the Rock Creek mine north of Nome. Troopers. Should have the report soon. Posted by Jesse Zink. Journalistic-ally salting the story? View ...
