Coming up on KTNA

This week on Su Valley Voice we’re discussing the topic of community journalism. KTNA listeners consistently rate local news as the number one programming content they value most. With a currently limited newsroom staff, KTNA is reaching out to find those who may be interested in helping tell our local news and stories. Two workshops focused on community journalism are scheduled later this week. KTNA Station General Manager Phillip Manning will be leading the workshops and will be a guest on the show along with Jeremy Hsieh [Shay] from Alaska Public Media and the Alaska Desk. Discussion will center around what is news, why it’s important and how we go about reporting it. Su Valley Voice aired live this morning at 10am and will rebroadcast at 7pm.

KTNA is seeking volunteers for our new community journalism program. The Upper Susitna Valley is full of stories, and we are seeking community members who want to help us cover them. KTNA will host training sessions on Thursday, December 11th from 6:30-8 pm and Saturday, December 13th from 10:30 am to noon. There will be an option to join via Zoom. Those interested in participating can email manager@ktna.org or call 907-733-1700.

KTNA is hosting an Album Cover Art Show & Contest in January. We hope that you will participate! Choose an album cover and use your imagination and creativity to recreate it, we are accepting submissions through December 15th. Any art style is accepted – you could dress up and take a picture, draw it, or photoshop it. We invite you to stop by the radio station to peruse our extensive album collection for ideas! Find details and submission requirements at KTNA.org.
