Inside LINK: Celebrate local news day with us
LINK nky launched in 2021 with a simple mission: Bring local news back to Northern Kentucky, which hadn’t had consistent coverage since the Cincinnati Post closed in 2007. Right after we launched, went to city council meetings and commission meetings and planning and zoning meetings, expecting to be met with neutrality or maybe even distain. […]

Inside LINK: Stay up to date on the election without doing a thing
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 […]

So, alas, my dad had to commute from Cincinnati to Alexandria every day for […]

Inside LINK: We’ve got quite the 2026 ahead of us
It was one of those years where each week, without fail, I knew the following week was finally going to be the one that slowed down. It never happened, but there’s always 2026! When I sat down to look back at some of the biggest stories from 2025, I realized why our weeks here at […]

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 […]
