About Mat-Su Sentinel
Mat-Su Sentinel is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan online news outlet publishing since June 2024. We provide clear, fact-based, connect-the-dots reporting for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, fostering community health and connection through civic engagement.
We are registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and funded through local and national grants, reader donations, and local sponsorships. Our journalism is free to access — no paywall, no agenda.
Studies show that communities without local news coverage face falling voter turnout, fewer candidates for office, and increased polarization. The Mat-Su Sentinel exists to help keep our community informed, connected, and civically healthy.
