Mission
Alaska Beacon is an independent, nonpartisan news organization focused on connecting Alaskans to their state government. Alaska, like many states, has seen a decline in the coverage of state news - which the organization aims to reverse.
Beacon reporters explore how state policies affect specific areas like the economy and environment, education, health, and criminal and social justice. The reporters aim to tell stories that aren't being told, to bring fresh perspectives to state issues and to amplify the voices of Alaska communities that have been marginalized.
Alaska Beacon is an affiliate of States Newsroom. Its editorial decisions are made inside Alaska by Alaska journalists. Alaska Beacon retains full editorial independence.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
