Introduction: 

My name is Todd Buck, I was a reporter for the Alaska Highway News (AHN)  when we closed our doors last October. Since then, I have been working on putting a newspaper back into Peace communities. After the birth of my third child, I decided to find a job that brought me home every night, which led me to applying with the Alaska Highway News (AHN). I quickly developed a passion in writing and reporting for the paper I grew up with on the kitchen table, and it’s a passion I wasn’t willing to let die.

​

Day to day:

My wife and children will be helping me the most with circulation, providing a digital presence, and by being present as much as we can throughout the community events while I focus on what I love, and that is to write. For the first time in generations, the Alaska Highway News will be locally owned, and family operated.

 

Update:

As of February, I started my own media company from which I plan to publish a more concise version of the AHN bi-weekly for the first 1-2 months, or until it has enough backing to support a weekly. I have collaborated closely with Rob Brown, former Managing Editor of the Dawson Creek Mirror as well as Trent Ernst from the Tumbler Ridgelines on a new publication which I will be spearheading.

 

Conclusion:

I have started feeling around the community to see if this is something the people and businesses would support and get behind by way of either buying ads, donations, or any other recommendations I have not covered.

 

I truly am passionate about the Peace and want nothing more than my time to be a contribution, and to have an impact on the beautiful community me and my family call home. A local newspaper is only possible if it has the support of the community.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to hearing back from you!
