Howard Weaver was born in Anchorage and began writing for the Anchorage Daily News during his junior year at East Anchorage High School in 1967. He worked at the Anchorage Daily News, 1972-1995, as a police reporter, court reporter, legislative correspondent, daily
columnist, managing editor and held full editorial responsibility of the paper in
1983. Twice he led the Anchorage Daily News to Pulitzer Prizes: in 1976 for coverage of the Alaska Teamsters Union during construction
of the trans-Alaska pipeline and in 1989 for coverage of alcoholism and suicide among
Alaska Natives.
