Banner year for Alaska Dispatch

Alaska Dispatch, the state's leader for online news, is reporting a banner year for growth in revenue and readership. Because of our relentless coverage of Alaska our readership has grown by more than 300 percent in the past year. From our original coverage of the Iditarod Sled Dog Trail Race to our Arctic Imperative Summit in June, which brought international policymakers, business leaders and rural Alaska Native leaders together to discuss investment in the Far North, Alaska Dispatch has proven itself a news leader for the most important stories in the state.
