"Again, I want to thank Alice Rogoff, the editors and staff for providing a wonderful small newspaper. I hope the new owners will be able to follow her example and retain the great editors and reporters."
...I second that opinion.  She made a good paper better.
 It is a great community paper that covers this huge state, and in spite of the political storms always around any newspaper, this paper has tried to let both major party views, as well as those of independents and non-partisans, have plenty of say and opportunities to state their ideas and policy thoughts.  I hope the family friendly quality of the paper continues whoever buys it...and hopefully if the Binkleys persevere, then I wish them the best of luck, (and a thank you ahead of time for the effort).   
Alaska needs a print newspaper.  At least this one has good will and circulation and a good name..and 20 million a year revenue,.. and that`s a pretty good base to build on.
