Description

Kay Fanning’s Alaska Story is an inspirational memoir of how Kay built the Anchorage Day by day News into a bastion of progressive leadership. She did it with grace and integrity, at all times placing public interests above special interests. In 1965, Kay loaded her three children into a station wagon and headed north for a fresh start in Alaska. She took a job on the Anchorage Day by day News, sooner or later purchasing the struggling newspaper with her new husband, Larry Fanning. Just as they were gaining steam, alternatively, Larry died of a heart attack. Kay became editor and publisher, turning the Day by day News into Alaska’s largest newspaper. She and her newspaper won a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 for coverage of corruption in Alaska’s powerful Teamsters Union. In 1983, Kay headed East to develop into editor of the Christian Science Monitor. She started working in this memoir, but she died before it used to be finished. Katherine Field Stephen, her daughter, finished the book by inviting eight of Kay Fanning’s friends and associates to give a contribution stories of how Kay helped define Alaska’s issues and shape its future.
