While some say it could be better for sleds, dogs and people if the pipeline construction were to smooth the route out some, others say it could also tarnish the character of the trail, according to a Nov. 28, 2010 Alaska Dispatch article by Craig Medred.

During a 10-day media tour of the proposed Alaska national interest lands he led in the summer of 1979 he shared his reservations with Craig Medred, a reporter for the Juneau Southeast Alaska Empire newspaper. He told Craig it might be best to designate most of the areas as parts of the nation’s wilderness system instead of the park system, the difference being that Andrus thought the Forest Service did a much better job of incorporating itself into communities and working with local interests than did the Park Service.

If, like Alaska Dispatch reporters Dermot Cole and Craig Medred (and again), you think McCandless was a clueless, crazy knucklehead, arrogant in his disdain for wild nature and its perils, then you want to think the seeds weren’t poisonous; the kid just died of starvation because he was too stupid/crazy/arrogant to make it to safety.

Alaska Dispatch's two-week long "Horngate" inquisition against Alaska Senate District J Republican candidate Bob Bell, led primarily by reporter Craig Medred, crashed and burned late on November 2nd, 2012 when Alaska State Troopers determined that Bell was covered by a loophole in the law that allows a hunter to give away the horns of a kill, and then have someone else send replacement horns as long as it isn't known if the horns originally belonged to the hunter.

As a columnist, the Alaska Dispatch’s Craig Medred is not one for restraint. “Big city reporters are morons,” was the decorous beginning of one recent piece. So perhaps there was no surprise in his approach to—yes—a university-press publishing story.

Personally I’m a bit torn about what is to follow. After our close escape from disaster on Saturday I decided to stay safe and pass Sunday, despite the beautiful tempting sunshine, loafing on the couch. Which, proved to be pleasant enough, except for the few moments I spent reading Craig Medred’s column, Your Brain Beats Beacon for Avalanche Safety, which despite that reasonable title is one the most rambling, idiotic, classless and unintelligent columns I’ve ever read.
