Culture While Incarcerated

KNOM: The Next Generation

Do you know someone who might be a good KNOM volunteer fellow? Now is a key time in the mission’s preparation for the 2019-2020 service year.

Western Alaska’s harsh winter weather is a challenge for every resident who calls this region home. For those who have no home, it’s life-threatening. In Nome, there’s a new shelter that offers daytime services for those who have nowhere else to go.

Longtime KNOM general manager Ric Schmidt was inducted on November 9 into the Alaska Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. He’s the 64th inductee into the ABA’s storied roster of broadcasting leaders.
