Join us from 5:30-7pm on Friday, May 6th at the Anchorage Museum (625 C Street in Anchorage) for the premiere of our first audio tour—transporting listeners to Shaktoolik, a village on Norton Sound—and on the edge of change.
Frontier of Change is a project from KNBA News and Producer Isaac Kestenbaum that will bring the voices and stories of Alaska's changing climate to the streets and airwaves of Anchorage.
Tune-in the week of May 2 - 6, at 8:50 a m., 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. for the special radio series.
Climate change is affecting Alaska more than other parts of the country – temperatures here are rising twice as fast. And the effects are serious: the coastline is eroding, permafrost is melting, and traditional animal migration patterns are changing.
Frontier of Change gathers stories from people whose lives and livelihoods are being profoundly affected by climate change. These stories will be made into radio broadcasts, and into special audio tours, or "soundwalks" that will guide listeners through the streets and paths of Anchorage.
