On Thursday, October 26, the Northern Kentucky community came together to support LINK nky as it celebrated TWO YEARS of covering the region’s stories.

At the annual fundraiser, a special announcement was made. LINK nky will now offer a new format of its print edition, The LINK Reader. This new format allows more room for stories, clearer photos and a more traditional newspaper design. Please visit our subscription page to receive The LINK Reader, for just $25 a year.
