The Anchorage Daily News is the most popular and most widely read daily newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska. The Anchorage Daily News has over four hundred fulltime employees that are responsible for the circulation of approximately over 7,200 daily and more than 8,000 on Sundays.
The Anchorage Daily News is the recipient of two "Pulitzer Prize" (considered as the highest honor in journalism).

And the other on 1989 for the "A People in Peril" series; which was about the high level of suicide, alcoholism and despair in the population of Alaska.
The Anchorage Daily News made its debut by publishing its first issue on the 13th of January 1946. However the Anchorage Daily News developed into an afternoon daily on May 1948 and the Anchorage Daily News then switched into a morning newspaper on the 13th of April 1964 and would not circulate Sunday issues until the 13th of June 1965. Norman Brown was the Anchorage Daily News’ first publisher and by then the Anchorage Daily News was produced by a Linotype manually fed press (Linotype was the world’s leading maker of newspaper and book typesetting equipments).
