  • Idealized Alaskan Themes Through Media and Their Influence on Culture, Tourism, and Policy
    'I am the last frontier': idealized Alaskan themes through media and their influence on culture, tourism, and policy Item Type Other Authors Lawhorne, Rebecca Download date 04/10/2021 09:20:08 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/11871 ‘I AM THE LAST FRONTIER’: IDEALIZED ALASKAN THEMES THROUGH MEDIA AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON CULTURE, TOURISM, AND POLICY Rebecca Lawhorne, B.A. A Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degreed of Master of Arts In Professional Communication University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2020 APPROVED: Rich Hum, Committee Chair Brian O’Donoghue, Committee Member Tori McDermott, Committee Member Charles Mason, Department Chair Department of Communication and Journalism Abstract A large body of literature suggests that in media history there exists prominent narrative themes about the State of Alaska. These themes affect both resident and visitor perceptions and judgements about what life is and should be in Alaska and subsequently, create values that ultimately influence how the state operates. The evolution of these themes are understood in a modern capacity in the Alaska reality television phenomenon of the early 2000’s. This study concludes that the effect of these forms of media may create conflict and ultimately, may not work in the state’s best interests. The researcher believes that the state has new tools to use in its image management. She recommends that new forms of media be cultivated Alaskan residents, tourism industry leaders and special interest groups as a means of alleviating the misrepresentations, expanding communication representation and developing positive visitor experiences for younger visitors who utilize new forms of media.

March 14, 2013 SUMMARY General Communication, Inc., here proposes to acquire one television station in Anchorage (KTVA) and two low-power stations in Juneau (KATH) and Sitka (KSCT) with the goal of attracting viewers with first-rate local programming. This small transaction will create large benefits for Alaska, which suffers from a stunning lack of broadcast competition, local news diversity, and technological innovation. GCI will invest heavily in local programming, more than doubling KTVA’s news offerings, hiring dozens of full-time news employees, and launching Alaska’s first high-definition local news. GCI has a 30-year history of bringing the benefits of competition to Alaska, investing more than $1 billion in the state to expand a variety of communications services, and forcing incumbents to improve their own services along the way.
