Juneau Empire changes signify concerning trend for Alaska newspapers’ future, longtime journalist says

JUNEAU, Alaska (KTUU) – A longtime Alaska journalist says Juneau Empire staff changes that publicly played out on social media earlier this week speak to the bigger picture of a concerning trend for the future for Alaska newspapers.

“I think it’s changing and if we don’t figure out what works, it’s going to die,” said Wrangell Sentinel Publisher Larry Persily, who’s spent more than five decades working in various Alaska journalism and government roles.

“It used to be advertising carried most of the budget for newsrooms. Now it’s going to be readership,” he added. “But we’ve got less readership, so we’ve got to come up with some answer or it’s a terminal illness.”

Persily’s assessment of the state of newspaper journalism comes after former editor Mark Sabbatini’s announcement Monday on the newspaper’s official Facebook page.

“I am resigning from the Juneau Empire, after giving notice three weeks ago, as of Tuesday, June 17,” Sabbatini wrote in the post. “There is no local successor planned.

“Instead the paper will be edited/managed remotely from Kenai (where the Peninsula Clarion, a sister paper, is based), with assistance from Carpenter Media’s offices in Canada and/or Washington state.”

Speaking with Alaska’s News Source Wednesday, Sabbatini — who returned to the Empire in 2022 before becoming editor in 2023 — said he determined his position would not be replaced from conversations with the paper’s Mississippi-based owner, Carpenter Media Group, who have not returned a request for comment.

“They didn’t technically fire me, they just told me I wasn’t required to come into work anymore before my employment ended at the end of the day Tuesday,” Sabbatini said Wednesday, after the post had been removed. “They also disconnected my ability to access any of their systems. So essentially, I consider that being fired.”

Sabbatini, who also served as an Empire reporter from 1995 to 2006, said that to his knowledge, the newspaper would still staff locally-based Juneau reporters, saying his resignation came after differences of opinion with owners over the direction the paper was moving.

First published in 1912 under the name Alaska Daily Empire, the paper discontinued printing locally two years ago, following a trend of what many consider a decline in local media.

Carpenter Media Group purchased the Empire’s parent company, Sound Publishing, for $100 million from Black Press Media last year amid financial struggles. The purchase included two other Alaska papers under Sound Publishing: The Peninsula Clarion and the Homer News.

As for the future, Sabbatini said he plans to look at online-specific newspaper models like the Nome Nugget, the Mat-Su Sentinel, and the Wrangell Sentinel, as he launches a new nonprofit online newspaper, the Juneau Independent, which he said will go live online Friday.

“The thing is there’s some fantastic journalism work going on these days,” Sabbatini said. “It’s just not always getting read and it’s just not always what’s the most popular or most profitable.”

In addition to the loss of advertising revenue, which Persily correlates to free social media platforms, he also cited printing costs as another stifling factor facing local journalism.

While the Wrangell Sentinel has been exclusively a weekly paper since it began in 1902, Persily said it has lost money every year since he’s owned it due to the high cost of printing.

In 2023, Sound Publishing discontinued daily printing of the Empire, reducing print editions to only two times a week, opting to print from Lakewood, Washington, to much public scrutiny.

The Peninsula Clarion also cut back printing in 2024, going from Wednesdays and Saturdays to printing one weekly edition on Fridays. The weekly Homer News, too, scaled back, switching to non-local printing.

And they’re far from alone; as many papers begin to scale back print editions to prioritize online, Persily said there’s still the problem of losing the readership that prefers printed copies in hand over digital content on screens.

“Every paper in Alaska is financially challenged and has problems,” Persily said. “We’re just we’ve got to convert people to online and then find some way to make enough money off online from advertising and readers. And we’re not alone, the whole country is going through that.”

Persily, who has periodically served as the Wrangell Sentinel’s publisher since 1976, said finding a solution lies in acknowledging there is an abundance of questionable online content that has created a barrier between the public and credible local news sources.

“We’ve got to figure out where the public is getting their news and get them real news — not the other garbage that comes in over their phone — to establish newsrooms where there’s radio, TV, newspapers, online news sites to build and maintain credibility, so people come to those sites,” Persily said.

Alaska’s News Source reached out to Carpenter Media, Sound Publishing and the Peninsula Clarion for comment, but had not received a response as of publication time.

Cruise ship arrives in Seward with dead endangered fin whale on its bow

A cruise ship arrived in Seward on Friday with a dead endangered fin whale on its bow, NOAA Fisheries said Sunday.

The carcass of the 61-foot, adult female fin whale — which was pregnant, based on initial findings — was towed to an area beach for a necropsy, the agency said in a statement posted to social media.

NOAA Fisheries said it is working with the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward to perform a necropsy to determine the whale’s cause of death. The agency asked people to stay away from the beach where the necropsy is being performed, “for your safety and to allow space for the team to perform the examination and collect samples.”

Photos posted to social media appeared to show the cruise ship involved was the Royal Caribbean vessel Ovation of the Seas, which can hold a maximum of nearly 5,000 passengers.

Fin whales are the second-largest whale species on the plant. They have an expansive range that includes the waters up and down Alaska‘s coast all the way to the Arctic, but they‘re not often seen, spending most of their time in deep, open ocean far from shore, according to a species overview from NOAA. In November 2024, a dead juvenile fin whale washed ashore on the mudflats in Anchorage, attracting throngs of visitors in the following months.

The species is “probably” the most vulnerable to vessel strikes after North Atlantic right whales, the agency said in its species overview.

The dead fin whale in Seward was located “on top of the ship’s bulbous bow,” NOAA Fisheries said in its statement.

Fin whales, which are classified as endangered, are protected under the Endangered Species Act.

“We remind the public that it is illegal for anyone to collect tissue, baleen or any part of the whale, unless you are an Alaska Native collecting tissue or parts for subsistence or use in handicrafts,” NOAA Fisheries said in its statement.

The agency said its Office of Law Enforcement is investigating, and anyone with information can call a 24-hour hotline at 800-853-1964.

Whale strikes, while uncommon, aren’t unheard of in Alaska, or in Seward. In 2016, the Holland America vessel Zaandam arrived in Seward with a dead fin whale on its bow, and in 2006 a Celebrity cruise ship arrived with a deceased humpback whale on its bow.

DFFP Responds to Joaquin Fire 31.5 Miles Southwest of McGrath

By Alaska Division of Forestry & Fire Protection on June 20, 2026

DFFP received reports of smoke near Mt. Joaquin at 8:00 PM Saturday. A DFFP helicopter responded and located the Joaquin Fire (#238) burning in black spruce and tundra roughly 31.5 miles southwest of McGrath.

Due to a nearby native allotment, additional aerial resources were ordered. The fire is currently 30 acres and has six smokejumpers, one air attack, and two single-engine water scoopers. No structures are threatened.
