Nat Herz’s Northern Beat

In our latest episode of ‘Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast’ David and Vicki check in on Nat Herz founder and reporter at The Northern Journal.  After covering our 49th state (including one third of America’s coastline) for the Alaska Daily News and Alaska Public Media Nick set out on his own in 2022, creating an Anchorage-based investigative newsletter covering issues from public lands and water, energy, mining, fisheries, politics, dog sled racing, everything the Alaskan public has a right to know.  Now a must read in Alaska with stories picked up by every media outlet in the state the Northern Journal is what you might get if I.F. Stone met a polar bear.   We ask Nat about his take on Alaska in the world, how things might change – or not cha nge – during Trump 2.0 and what it’s like covering a beat the size of Western Europe but mostly without roads.  It’s a fascinating take on journalism on ‘The Last Frontier.’
