The New Face of China — a digital slide presentation by award-winning Anchorage photographer Clark James Mishler — will be presented at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center on Thursday, May 15 at 7:00 p.m. Proceeds will benefit KSKA Public Radio (FM 91.1).
The suggested donation for adults is $10 and students with identification are invited to attend free.
Mishler, a freelance photographer, and his wife Mitzi will share their insights and imagery from their recent trip to China’s Yunnan and Guangdong Provinces where they explored the lives of ordinary people and their rural activities.
“The land is largely unchanged over the past 50 years,” said Mishler. “This presentation will be perfect for those who wish to learn more about China as well as those who may wish to visit.”
Mishler’s work has appeared in numerous regional, national and international publications including the National Geographic Magazine and is a member of the American Society of Media Photographers and the National Press Photographers Association.
He recently published Anchorage: Life at the Edge of the Frontier, an art photo book documenting the people and places of Alaska’s largest city.
AK tops 200 episodes
Tue, November 27, 2007
Posted in APRN, News Releases | Comments Off
Earlier this month APRN’s national award-winning show, AK, crept over the 200 episode mark, and we couldn’t be happier! First broadcast in the fall of 2003, AK has become a weekly Alaskan cultural touchstone as it brings the unique people and places of Alaska to life on public radio stations statewide and for listeners worldwide via the podcast.
Aside from a brief celebration in-house (before we got right back to work on the next episode) we also invited KTUU Channel 2 to stop by and have a look at how AK is produced and what makes this little four-year-old a winner. They profiled the show in the following brief video story, graciously shared online by KTUU via YouTube:
Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone that listens to and supports both AK and the public radio system in Alaska. We absolutely couldn’t do it without you.
For now, we’d better get back to work on the next 200 episodes…

AK wins 2007 Clarion Award
Tue, August 14, 2007
Posted in APRN, News Releases | Comments Off
APRN’s weekly statewide radio program — AK — has won yet another national award for the quality of its reporting and storytelling.
This time the Association for Women in Communications has selected AK as its 2007 Clarion Award winner for Radio Regular Feature Program. AK’s honor comes alongside other public radio winners in 2007 such as KCRW in Santa Monica, long-running weekly food show The Splendid Table and top-quality journalism from American RadioWorks.
The 2007 Clarion Award for AK follows last month’s win at the Public Radio News Directors, Inc. (PRNDI) conference in New Orleans, where AK beat out national entries from 35 large-market stations. AK was also the first show in PRNDI history to take the Best News and Public Affairs Program three years in a row — or three years in any order.
Please join us in congratulating AK! And if you’d like to hear the award-winning episode, click here.
You can listen to AK on KSKA FM 91.1 each week on Saturday mornings at 10:00 a.m., repeating on Tuesday mornings at 11:00 a.m., right after Talk of Alaska.
