And it's exactly stories like these, about local people and our communities instead of click bait, that are the real tragedy in the big media battles. When KYUK loses, we all lose.
#alaskasky #publicmedia #weathermatters
KYUK, one of the few sources of local news and native language programming in the region devastated by last month's storm, lost federal funding that was up to 70% of its budget and plans to make cuts in January.

(From @npr.org)
Alaska station that covered devastating storm cuts jobs
KYUK public TV and radio station in Western Alaska serves dozens of villages damaged by Typhoon Halong. But with federal funding eliminated, KYUK makes severe cuts to its staff and news department.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

This radio station is bilingual and so fantastic. They produced amazing films and reports that are paramount in keeping Yupik language alive
KYUK is a scrappy public radio station in Alaska. When Congress went after NPR, public radio stations like this one took the hit.

It broadcasts to indigenous people living in the tundra, and without public funding, it's facing massive layoffs.
In rural America, public radio saves lives
In remote Alaska, public radio station KYUK is crucial during natural disasters. Without federal funding, how will it survive?
