Photo: @alanpanebaker Twitter profile<\/p><\/div>I was deeply saddened to hear about Alan Panebaker&#8217;s tragic death in a kayak accident in New Hampshire on Wednesday. Alan was <a href=\"http:\/\/vtdigger.org\/\">VT Digger&#8217;s<\/a> first full-time reporter. He graduated from Vermont Law School in 2011 and reported on the Vermont Statehouse. He was 29 years old.<\/p>\n<p>I met Alan this past spring when I was on a freelance assignment in southern Vermont. He was friendly and collegial, I knew his work. I remember thinking that Alan was type of journalist I hoped to be. In July Alan left VT Digger to work for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanwhitewater.org\/\">American Whitewater<\/a>, a non-profit that works to &#8220;conserve and restore America&#8217;s whitewater resources.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can read tributes to Alan&#8217;s life and work at <a href=\"http:\/\/vtdigger.org\/2012\/09\/20\/former-vtdigger-staffer-alan-panebaker-dies-in-kayak-accident\/#comment-40788\">VTDigger<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/7d.blogs.com\/offmessage\/2012\/09\/alan-panebaker-former-digger-reporter-dies-in-nh-kayak-accident.html\">7 Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was deeply saddened to hear about Alan Panebaker&#8217;s tragic death in a kayak accident [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[19,48,879],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6587"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6587"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6589,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6587\/revisions\/6589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
