not in the news: walter

Despite Stevens' lauding, public introduction during his speech, and other promotion, Katey Walter didn't make it into the news stories today about Stevens' address to the Legislature. Or rather news story. As far as I can tell, my paper, the ADN, and the Juneau Empire all went with the AP story. Chalk it up to reporters steering clear of subjects we just don't understand, I guess. IMHO, the fact that he spent so much time talking about her and her work (on the release of methane in Alaska lakes) merited at least some mention, but then, I could have written a story myself.
