The News-Miner’s Day One story on the Exxon Valdez was from the AP, because they didn’t have a reporter on scene yet. Funny story: The reporter they sent the next day was Brian O’Donoghue, who was renting a cabin from my parents and asked them to make sure the place didn’t freeze up in his absence.

March 24, 1989 Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. The big story: Governor Steve Cowper won’t run for reelection. Below the fold: oil spill in Prince William Sound. My memory is that it was the lead story on Alaska Public Radio. #Alaska #History #ExxonValdez @anchistorian.bsky.social @dermotcole.bsky.social
