Our mission
Relying on voices, perspectives and stories historically underserved by news outlets, KTOO News provides information our community needs to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our role in local, statewide and national issues and events.
KTOO News Team
Adelyn Baxter“I help inform KTOO listeners, viewers and readers by finding creative ways to bring our content to our audience wherever they are.”
Claire Stremple“I support KTOO reporters and guide coverage that informs our community and reflects its diverse perspectives.” When she’s not editing stories or coaching reporters, you can find Claire outside with her dog Maya.
Mike Lane“As KTOO’s Morning Edition host, I inform, empower and engage the community with relevant and timely stories from state and local resources. I believe in the power of radio and its ability to create community connection.”
KTOO Reporters
KTOO’s news reporters are always looking for stories about life in Juneau, and in the areas of city leadership & governance, Alaska Native tribal governments, Juneau schools, local politics and social justice.
Yvonne Krumrey“Through my reporting and series Tongass Voices and Lingít Word of the Week, I tell stories about people who have shaped — and continue to shape — the landscape of this place we live.”
Clarise Larson“My mission is to hold Juneau’s elected officials accountable for their actions and how their decisions impact the lives of the people they represent. It’s rooted in the belief that an informed public has the power to make positive change.” When Clarise isn’t working, you can find her skijoring with her dog, Bloon, or climbing up walls at the Rock Dump.
Jamie Diep“I strive to tell stories that highlight the triumphs, struggles and resilience of students from all backgrounds as they navigate a constantly changing world.” In their free time, Jamie’s probably playing their oboe or exploring the outdoors.

About KTOO News
KTOO has a mid-sized newsroom in a small market, which means we have a strong presence and reputation in the community.
Our reporters focus on city governance, housing issues, tourism and other local economic drivers, social justice, impacts from weather and climate change, education and Alaska Native culture and governance.
KTOO supports station-wide efforts to increase diversity and inclusion. The newsroom is committed to consciously seeking out voices, perspectives and stories not found in other outlets or in the media at all.
KTOO is honored to broadcast on Lingít Aaní. Our studios sit on fill that was once tideland, and is the home of the Áak’w Ḵwáan. We respect the Lingít people for the care of this land and these waterways for thousands of years.
