Judge Allows Private Emails for AK Officials
Wed, August 12, 2009
An Anchorage judge on Wednesday declined to put an immediate stop on the governor’s office from conducting public business on private e-mail accounts. A Superior Court judge did not grant a summary judgment against the state in a case challenging former-governor Sarah Palin’s practice of using her personal address instead of her state accounts.

AK: Looking Forward
Sat, December 6, 2008
This week we continue our series on Alaska Statehood by looking at Alaska’s future. We chat with a few community leaders who’ve been here for many of Alaska’s five decades and ask them to share what they think the future stills holds in store for the Last Frontier. We also check in with Alaska’s youngest leaders for their thoughts and we consider the future of farming the Great Land. Finally, we look at the state’s demographic trends, including a more multicultural future and the truth about male and female ratios in the 49th State.

AK: Native Perspectives
Sat, November 1, 2008
This week on AK we continue our series on Alaska Statehood by delving into Alaska Native perspectives on becoming the 49th state. Fifty years ago, many Alaska Natives still lived isolated rural lives: some weren’t even aware when Alaska became a state… or how it affected them. But they figured it out quickly with the land claims movement and remain the core of Alaska’s cultural heritage.

AK: The Way Things Were
Sat, October 4, 2008
From the big ideas that drew in mid-century Americans seeking adventure to the small furs that brought Russians before that, we look back through Alaskan history as our 50th anniversary of Statehood series continues. We look back at aviation, healthcare, the earthquake that, ironically, stabilized Alaska’s economy and the art created on America’s beautiful Last Frontier.
