Residents of Inuvik who rely on local news coverage in print will continue to find pertinent details about the region in a renewed publication of News/North.

Effective Jan. 13, News/North will include dedicated stories about Beaufort Delta, while the Inuvik Drum will cease publishing as a standalone print product. Since 1988, both print publications have had overlapping circulation.

Digital storytelling about Inuvik will continue to be available on NNSL.com.

“We will always report on what’s going on in Inuvik and the Beaufort Delta area,” Northern News Service publisher Mike Bryant said.

The Inuvik Drum newspaper was first published on Jan. 6, 1966. It became part of the Northern News Service portfolio in 1988.
