Guiding Principles:

We are :

Solutions-Focused : We don’t just report the news of the day. We dig deeper, informing our audience about how our community might solve its biggest issues. 

Unapologetic NKY Fans : We believe in this community—in what it is today, and what it has the potential to become. We want to see this community advance, and we understand the part that we play in that advancement. 

Inclusive : We explore the issues that affect all of Northern Kentucky, and give a voice to all segments of our diverse community.

Good Stewards : It is our responsibility to make good use of our resources and to maintain a sustainable business model, so that we may serve the community long into the future.  

Independent : The publication does not make endorsements, or publish our own opinions, about the issues that are facing Northern Kentucky. In addition to our reporting, outside opinions from multiple viewpoints will be sought, and clearly marked as such, in order to provide the robust debate that our community needs to make critical decisions about our collective future.
