Here’s your preview of the Sept. 17 edition of Mountain Xpress. This week’s cover story, by reporter Rebecca Bowe, focuses on climate change in Alaska and what it means for Western North Carolina. Bowe was part of a team of journalists invited by the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism to travel to Alaska to view the on-the-ground effects of climate change. Her experiences there provided some of the material for the story.
Other stories this week include a look at an upcoming show by artist Gabriel Shaffer and a run-down on locally made beer that will be featured at this weekend’s Brewgrass beer festival.

Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
