The photo in question. From Battle brews over alcohol sales at Midtown gas station Photo © Anchorage Daily News

"Shame on ADN!! Racism, stereotypes and bias should not be promoted directly or subtly through media forums. I am shocked at the use of the photo on the front page of the Anchorage Daily News on Oct. 1 picturing two Alaska Native men who are on a street corner shaking hands. It is a presumption that their handshake is somehow alcohol related because they are on that street corner?

To attach such a photo to the article, "Battle brews over alcohol sales ..." presumes that, doesn't it? Yet, this article doesn't say anything about Alaska Native people."
