Alice Rogoff majority owner of AlaskaDispatch.com
The “Alaska Ear” reports the following:
NEW GAME . . . Earwigs report Alice Rogoff, an Outside zillionaire with an interest in Alaska Native art, has bought Alaska Dispatch, the news Website started last year by Tony Hopfinger and Amanda Coyne. (www.alaskadispatch.com).
Rogoff, who is being called co-owner, will be the publisher while Tony remains editor.
Now in the process of expanding, Dispatch has hired Channel 2 reporter/anchor Jill Burke — maybe the best TV reporter in town; Maia Nolan, one of Ear’s favorite local bloggers; and News-Miner reporter Rena Delbridge.
