KTOO Reporters
KTOO’s news reporters are always looking for stories about life in Juneau, and in the areas of city leadership & governance, Alaska Native tribal governments, Juneau schools, local politics and social justice.
Yvonne Krumrey“Through my reporting and series Tongass Voices and Lingít Word of the Week, I tell stories about people who have shaped — and continue to shape — the landscape of this place we live.”
Clarise Larson“My mission is to hold Juneau’s elected officials accountable for their actions and how their decisions impact the lives of the people they represent. It’s rooted in the belief that an informed public has the power to make positive change.” When Clarise isn’t working, you can find her skijoring with her dog, Bloon, or climbing up walls at the Rock Dump.
Jamie Diep“I strive to tell stories that highlight the triumphs, struggles and resilience of students from all backgrounds as they navigate a constantly changing world.” In their free time, Jamie’s probably playing their oboe or exploring the outdoors.
Alix Soliman“I write stories that shine a light on environmental problems and solutions. In the words of Rachel Carson, ‘The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts.’” When Alix isn’t asking questions, you can find her hiking, climbing or buried in a good book.
