News-Miner hires new managing editor from Indiana

Hank Nuwer, the new managing editor of the Daily News-Miner, is a veteran author and teacher from Indiana who has long owned 15 acres outside of Tok.

Here is his travel blog about his move to Fairbanks.

“Like the reporter in the TV series Alaska Daily, I came to Alaska as a journalist. Follow my life outside work hours at http://realalaskadaily.com,” he writes.

Before making the move to Fairbanks, he and his wife, Malgorzata (Gosia) Wroblewska-Nuwer, lived in “Indiana and Warsaw, Poland–with visits to their Alaska properties in Tok and Alexander Creek, AK,” his website says.

Nuwer, 76, retired from Franklin College in Franklin, Indiana in 2020 after 18 years on the journalism faculty. In this column he wrote last spring, he reflected on his decades as a writer and teacher.

He has written extensively on the problem of hazing on college campuses.

Gary Black, the former managing editor of the News-Miner, remains on the staff as the news editor, the News-Miner reported.
