What Is Delta News Web?

Updated

Delta News Web (deltanewsweb.com) is a local news and community information site for Delta Junction, Alaska. It publishes news headlines, school news, a daily photo, community events, classified ads, and announcements. It is not an official government or agency site; it aggregates community information.

What the Site Covers

The homepage mixes several kinds of content in one feed:

  • News headlines — agency and local stories, such as the BLM announcement of the October 27 opening for the winter Fortymile caribou federal subsistence hunt, and the DOT&PF student essay contest to name the Tustumena's successor.
  • Photo of the day — reader-submitted photos with a short caption. One example shows chokecherry fruit in Delta Junction attracting waxwings and grosbeaks, credited to Fronty Parker.
  • School news — the DGSD lunch menu by weekday, plus links to Delta Elementary, Delta Junior High, Delta High School, Delta Greely School District, Gerstle River, Raven Homeschool, and Alaska Homeschool.
  • Sports schedules — volleyball, wrestling, hockey, and rifle match listings with dates, times, and locations.
  • Community announcements — anniversaries and personal messages, such as the October 28 note for Larry and Juliet Dorshorst.
  • Upcoming events — a dated calendar including Mass times, a prayer group, an AA meeting, Story Hour sessions for different age groups, and a thrift store window.
  • Classified ads — job listings such as Security Officer with Alyeska Pipeline – Denali Universal Services and Supervisory Information Technology Specialist with the Dept of the Army.

How to Use It

If you live in or near Delta Junction, the site works as a single place to check what is happening:

  1. Scan the top headlines for agency news and deadlines.
  2. Check the events calendar for times and locations of recurring activities.
  3. Use the classifieds tab and its drop-down box to browse or submit ads.
  4. Use the submit links to send events or anniversary wishes.

The site also states that images can be clicked for enlargements.

What It Is Not

Delta News Web is a community aggregator, not a primary source. For the caribou hunt rules, rely on the BLM announcement itself; for school policy, use the school district. The site is useful for finding out that something is happening and when, then following the link or contact to the official source.

The page evidence does not show subscription pricing or login requirements, so access terms should be confirmed on the site itself rather than assumed.
