Hand-out news an Article by Craig Medred
https://craigmedred.news/2018/07/31/hand-out-news/The climbing season on North America’s tallest mountain is now well over, and if it feels like you missed it, well, there’s a reason.
And that involves a story not about mountaineering, but about how news gets delivered or doesn’t in these United States in the second decade of the new millennium.
In this case, a fair bit of the news never arrived, though it was out there. But it’s pretty much pointless to talk about this without first explaining how the news works today.
(a great article...alaskan journalism at it's finest)
