What delta wind does

Delta Wind is a community newspaper and online news portal serving Delta Junction, Deltana, Big Delta, and Fort Greely in Interior Alaska. Founded in 1987 and operated by TriDelta, Incorporated, the publication has functioned continuously as the only local newspaper covering its service area for 38 years. The company distributes a weekly print edition every Thursday through local retail pickup points and mail subscriptions, while simultaneously operating a digital news platform at deltawindonline.com.

The digital platform is built on the BLOX Content Management System from BLOX Digital, and extends beyond news articles to include an e-Edition of the print publication, a classifieds marketplace, a community calendar, a local weather service, and user account/membership functionality. Content coverage spans local news, public safety, state-level news, school activities, sports, features, opinion, announcements, classifieds, and weather. Distribution is multi-channel across print, mail subscription, web, and a Facebook page (@DeltaWindOnline).

The business model rests on two revenue streams: recurring print subscriptions sold to residents of the Delta Junction service area, and advertising sold to local businesses. The customer base consists of Interior Alaska households for subscriptions and local merchants for ad inventory. Operations are based at 2887 Alaska Hwy in the AMC Building, Delta Junction, with editorial contact via [email protected] and 907-895-5115. No headcount, financial figures, ownership transactions, or capital raises are disclosed in the available source material.
