Here at LINK nky, we’ve been working on 2026 election coverage since last summer. So it’s easy to forget that the rest of the region isn’t as versed on everything that’s going on as we are. Last week, I was talking to someone who is very plugged in politically, and they asked me when we […]

Inside LINK: What does the CityBeat purchase mean for LINK nky?
On December 5, LINK Media, the parent company of LINK nky, bought CityBeat, the 31-year-old alternative weekly newspaper in Cincinnati. It was not a decision we came to lightly, and I wanted to take this opportunity to explain to (literally) everyone in Northern Kentucky why we did it. When we founded LINK in 2021, our […]

It should have been Northern Kentucky, but as a family completely new to the area with little time to figure out logistics, NKY was simply too hard to figure out.

Inside LINK: A Santa cookie tradition, from my family to yours
The Santa cookies have always been around. They would arrive in the mail in mid-December in a tin my grandmother had surely repurposed years ago. When I was younger, I’m not sure I even realized my grandparents made them because they were so perfect. Every single one looked and tasted just the same. The Santa […]

Inside LINK: Introducing Educator of the Week
Everyone has that one teacher. The one who made them realize they loved math or the one who helped them get over their fear of public speaking, or maybe the one who helped their kid through a really hard year. If you’re familiar with what we do here at LINK nky, you may have seen […]

Inside LINK: We bought CityBeat, and I’m sticking around
My daughter is 14, and as with most teenagers, we talk a lot about the future. One of the things I repeat often to her is that she needs to stay open to possibilities in life- that believing in one rigidly prescribed life path is the best way to miss out on the opportunity for […]

Inside LINK: You can support us without spending money (but don’t tell my boss!)
I have five kids. That’s a lot of shoes to buy and lunches to pay for and birthday parties to purchase gifts for. Which is why I always struggle when I see giving campaigns for organizations I find important. If I happen to have a few dollars or can set up a regular monthly payment, […]
