James Brooks is a reporter for the Alaska Beacon. James is a longtime Alaska journalist, having previously worked at the Anchorage Daily News, Juneau Empire, Kodiak Mirror and the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner -- although as we will learn today initially more as an editor than as a journalist. He has laid down roots in Juneau where he and his wife and young daughter live, and he was content in his role as the ADN's chief Capitol reporter when three years ago he embarked on what he describes as "an experiment" at the Alaska Beacon. The Beacon is outcropping of the States Newsroom which is a non-profit news organization with a goal of combating disinformation in our country's growing news deserts. James and I talk about that organization and what it would it would take for it to persevere.
