“A Year on Top of the World”
As we say goodbye to the 2013-2014 class of KNOM volunteers, we offer snapshots of their recent writing on our website; each offers a glimpse at what makes our volunteer program so special and so crucial.

Newsie Zach has traveled to Savoonga (as described here) and is just […]
Volunteer travel
Our volunteers have been keeping busy this winter.

In January, all five volunteers were scheduled to take outreach […]
Spotted
The messages you see in grey boxes throughout our print newsletter (which you can download as a PDF) – and in all of our Static (newsletter) issues – are but a tiny sampling of KNOM’s massive library of “spots.” They’re brief radio messages, created in-house at KNOM, that we sprinkle into each broadcast hour, taking the place […]
KNOM Radio Mission, 2013: Twelve Snapshots
From our studio annex’s construction to special broadcasting awards to a Russian cultural trip, it’s been an exceptional year at our radio mission.
A festival in Wales, Alaska
A month ago, volunteers Emily Bieniek and Dayneé Rosales traveled to the Western Alaska community of Wales.
