Beverly D. Dunham

Beverly D. Dunham (born 1932)[1] is an American pioneer journalist and publisher in Alaska.

She founded the Seward Phoenix Log[2] in 1966 and served as the editor and publisher, running both the financial side and editorial side of the paper, rare for a woman at the time.

She is also a community activist and municipal servant in Seward, Alaska.

Dunham was featured in[3] the Ken Burns documentary The National Parks: America's Best Idea, expressing her initial opposition to the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge near Seward.

She feared the establishment of the monument would adversely affect the economy of the town.
