The Pulitzer Center, a non-profit journalism organization, is funding a project to investigate the privatization of fishing rights in Alaska and its impacts on coastal communities. Nat Herz, an independent reporter with the Northern Journal, is doing the investigative work. He has been traveling to communities across the state where the impacts of these policies have been playing out. Herz was in Metlakatla for Founders’ Day and sat down with KRBD’s Jack Darrell to talk about the project and how Metlakatla fits into it.
To learn more about the project or how to get in touch with Herz, you can email him at nat@northernjournal.com or call him at 907-793-0312.
