Information
The following information was summarised from various sources for your convenience.
The Anchorage Daily News is a daily newspaper based in Anchorage, Alaska, in the United States. The current editor of the Anchorage Daily News is Pat Dougherty. By then, the Anchorage Daily News had become a morning newspaper, making that switch on April 13, 1964. The Daily News was at that time the smallest daily newspaper ever to win the Public Service Pulitzer. Criticism In 1997, the weekly Anchorage Press newspaper ran a controversial article that alleged the Daily News' quality and newsroom morale had declined substantially since the McClatchy buyout and the Daily News' subsequent victory in its newspaper war with the Anchorage Times, which went out of business in 1992. While the Press' extensive interviews (mostly of unnamed sources) pointed out genuine problems and turmoil in the Daily News' newsroom, many believed the article unfairly maligned McClatchy in general and Daily News Editor in Chief Kent Pollock in particular.
