Alaska Public Media Reporter Wesley Early moved to Anchorage in 2008 and began his freshman year at Bartlett High School. He stayed in Anchorage for college earning a degree in journalism and public communications at the University of Alaska Anchorage. He started working in public radio his senior year of college and has never left. In 2019 he became the news director at KOTZ, the public radio in Kotzebue, and spent two years covering arctic climate change, subsistence,  Iñupiaq culture, and the region's response to Covid 19. Since returning to Anchorage in 2021, he has covered city government. Today we discuss the devastating impacts to public radio, particularly to rural stations, of the elimination of federal funding.
