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, […]

Inside LINK: You, too, can own LINK nky (just think Green Bay Packers)
Since we started LINK in 2021, I’ve been thinking about community ownership. The example I always come back to is the Green Bay Packers. By every measure, Green Bay shouldn’t have an NFL team. It’s too small a market, the economics don’t make sense, and yet they’ve built one of the most loyal, successful franchises […]

Inside LINK: Introducing our new food writers
A couple of months ago, we announced that our food writer, Maria Hehman, who had been with LINK from almost the beginning, would be parting ways with us (we miss you, Maria!). I certainly didn’t think it would be two months before I announced who we had hired to replace her, but that was before I […]

Inside LINK: A new leader for a new chapter
Written by Greg Fischer, LINK nky’s founding chairman When we launched LINK in 2021, we weren’t just starting a news organization—we were taking a stand for Northern Kentucky. We believed this region deserved local journalism that was independent, inclusive, solutions-focused, and unapologetically local. Four years later, LINK is thriving. And today, we begin the next […]
