Love the online version

I have been using the FDNM app for several years without any major issues. Much preferred over a paper copy. Many times in the past I would walk down to the mailbox and the paper hadn’t shown up yet. Very frustrating! Now it’s always online and available for reading wherever I am (in Fairbanks or not). I like being able to email or text articles to myself or others easily. I hope FDNM continues to provide local news well into the future.

Photos Are Great

Pictures of wildlife and nature are always great. Also enjoy syndicated essays from George Will, Rich Lowery, and Victor Davis Hanson. Local scoreboard including sports results from all high schools and junior highs would be great, as well as schedules for games. Less about teacher and admin, more about our young people.what are they learning. Junior reporters from high schools?
