Airing from 1976 to 1987, Alaska Review was the first statewide public affairs television program in Alaska. The show was designed to explore public policy issues confronting Alaska, and to assist citizens in making decisions about the future of their land. Produced by Independent Public Television, Inc., (IPTV), the series eventually consisted of 16 one-hour shows, 46 half-hour shows, and one three-hour special broadcast. Funded through the Alaska Humanities Forum and State of Alaska, the series won multiple awards for public service and educational programming. IPTV dissolved in 1988. Videotapes for all finished productions and raw footage were later moved to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), where they became housed with the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives department in the Rasmuson Library at UAF, shortly after the unit was founded in 1993. The Alaska Film Archives is currently seeking funding to preserve and digitize all of the original full interviews gathered in the making of the Alaska Review series. Copies of finished productions are also held by Alaska State Library Historical Collections in Juneau. For more information, please contact the Alaska Film Archives at University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Fate of the Ferry
The future of the Alaska Ferry is on the line after the Alaskan government proposed to cut $100 million from the Alaska Marine Highway System’s budget. This accounts for 75% of the annual funding and could result in the closure of the southern terminus in Bellingham, Washington. In connection with Alaskan communities, Whatcom County Council members and the Port of Bellingham have passed a resolution in support of maintaining the Alaska Marine Highway and the route from Ketchikan, Alaska, to Bellingham.
The Fate of the Ferry was produced by Hailey Hoffman, Isa Kaufman and Joely Johnson
for the Spring 2019 Advanced Visual Journalism class at Western Washington University.
