Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Governor Arnold Palacios. Arnold was a devout leader of the Northern Mariana Islands, and his commitment to service drove his dedication to the people as governor. Praying for comfort for his family, friends and the great people of the Commonwealth during this time.

The latest update from Saipan as CNMI Governor Arnold Palacios is expected to be sent off island for medical treatment. youtu.be/1rQ8SppUAl4?si…

He added, “I’m monitoring the situation in our region with our US military partners, praying for the safety of our service members always.”

Gov. Palacios statement: The Northern Marianas remains alert and we remain positively hopeful & confident that peace & diplomacy reign for the benefit of our fellow brethren here at home and around the world.

As national attention is on the CNMI regarding birth tourism amid conversations about ending birthright citizenship, Marianas Press obtained the number of “live births by mother’s resident classification” from the hospital on Saipan. facebook.com/share/p/1D4tH7…

@newsroom_the Stay tuned for good news :)

@thomasreporting Sorry to hear your news Thomas. Thanks for your stories.

Some personal news — I will be leaving KUAM on Friday. I returned home with the dream to cover our region and I’m thankful for the opportunities to do that over the past three years.

The Northern Mariana Islands elected its first female, Tinian native, and Republican to US Congress. Meet Kimberlyn King-Hinds. youtu.be/OY2wVH_OpfM?si…

The demise of local journalism has been so disheartening lately, but this one really hits home. Without local media, we're all just left in the dark. How will governments and corporations be held accountable? Who will ask the tough questions?

Heartbreaking news. Saipan Tribune, one of my hometown's only local newspapers, is ceasing its operations at the end of this year. For 3+ decades, Saipan Tribune has been such a reliable news source across the US territory of the Northern Marianas and the Pacific region 💔

CNMI SPJ statement

It’s a sad day for journalism in the CNMI. A local paper, Saipan Tribune, where I started my reporting career announced its plans to close. Democracy dies in darkness.

Another incomplete national report about the military build up here in the Northern Marianas and Guam. Regurgitates military plans and does not include any interviews with locals. What not to do when reporting in the Pacific. youtu.be/CW1TYDVBSmI?si…
