I don't care where the statewide paper comes from--no more reason it should be in Juneau than anywhere else. Other than the legislature, there's more of a connection between Nome and Anchorage than there is to Juneau. And for lots of the state, there aren't any newspapers.

The newspaper market has shifted--enough so that city papers aren't likely going to do well without broader coverage. The Dispatch is *in* Anchorage, so it's going to continue to maintain Anchorage coverage, but throwing a bone to us folks in rural AK isn't that hard.
