About The Seward Phoenix Log
The Seward Phoenix Log is a digital news publication with roots in Seward, Alaska, dating back to 1966. It covers news from Alaska alongside significant national and international stories, with its administrative and editorial teams working remotely.
Our coverage includes developments affecting Alaska as well as major stories in the United States and around the world. We report across areas including breaking news, business, public affairs, entertainment, technology, health, culture, and lifestyle.
Although the way readers consume news has changed since 1966, the publication’s purpose remains rooted in keeping people informed. We aim to make important and developing stories clear, accessible, and useful to our readers.
History
The Seward Phoenix Log was founded in Seward, Alaska, in 1966 by Beverly and Willard Dunham, alongside Joanne Hoogland. Its first issue was published on October 6, 1966.
For more than five decades, the weekly print newspaper documented life in Seward and the surrounding region. It reported on local government, schools, businesses, community events, public affairs, and the people who shaped the area.
Beverly Dunham served as an editor and publisher of the newspaper and became a notable figure in Alaska journalism. Under her leadership, the publication also gave young people opportunities to gain experience in school and sports reporting.
The newspaper’s name refers to the Phoenix, a Russian vessel built in the Resurrection Bay area during the late 19th century.
In December 2017, the standalone print edition of the Seward Phoenix Log was combined with the Seward Journal. The Seward Phoenix Log name and website are now operated as a digital news publication.
