On Twitter, over email lists, and in wry internal reports, journalists complained about a lack of legitimate opportunities to question the administration’s policies.

Alaskans of all stripes came out this week for a chance to shake hands with President Barack Obama, or at least glimpse his motorcade, but one person not on hand for the big visit was Don Young, Alaska’s only member of the U.S. House of representatives.

The federal government is tapping the Denali Commission as the lead agency to address the relocation of coastal communities across the state.

President Barack Obama visited Dillingham Wednesday afternoon as part of his trip to Alaska.

The president will travel from the airport to Kanakanak Beach to meet with fishermen and families. He will then attend a cultural performance at the Dillingham Middle/High School.

President Barack Obama met with leaders from the Alaska Native community while in Anchorage for the GLACIER conference.

Obama also wants to work with Congress to plan for an expanded icebreaker fleet, “To ensure the United States can operate year-round in the Arctic Ocean,” he said.
