John R. Moses is a veteran journalist. Gale Armstrong Moses
is an expert in marketing and advertising sales who has just
finished a long-term substitute teaching job at Su Valley
Jr./Sr. High School.  We moved to Talkeetna, Alaska in 2006
to buy and  run her mother's bed and breakfast  in Talkeetna.
We believe that local news is vital
to any community, and is
especially vital in rural Alaska.
Many sources of
news exist but they don't offer
both the speed of the Internet
and local news content.
We will have a monthly print
edition with more extensive local
news, sports, photos and columnists.
 It is also our goal to build a
full community calendar and offer
local houses of worship a place to
tell about their upcoming programs
and sermons.
A basketball or hockey game
played today can be covered here,
with photos, the same night or soon after.  Same for a council
meeting.
 You might miss a newspaper's deadline to get a club meeting
date to your members and friends. The out-of-town papers
might not even  bother to run your notice, or lose it in the
spam-filled inbox.  Local news is our priority.
 Nothing can or ever should take the place of our
community's crown jewel,  KTNA, or the  state and world
news you get from the daily papers.  We believe this site  and
our print newspaper will  be informative, fun and useful.
Please send us your ideas -- what you'd like to see here.
 Join us in this adventure and help this site turn into a lively
online community.  Send in your announcements, birth
notices and the other things that make Talkeetna, Willow,
Trapper Creek, Caswell,  Sunshine and Houston the places we
call home.
