Behind the Headlines

Behind the Headlines hit a milestone Sunday afternoon  – it surpassed 15,000 page views.

When we started the blog earlier this year, the idea was to help
readers understand more about what Herald-Leader journalists do and why
and how they do it. Too often, I think,
people’s perceptions of how the Herald-Leader and kentucky.com work
are off-base – no doubt shaped by our many critics, from talk radio callers to partisan
bloggers.  They have a lot of opinions and assumptions, but few facts. 

The beauty of a blog is two-way
communication, and I’m hoping to get more of that from you during Behind the
Headlines’ next 15,000 page views. Comment
on what we write about.  Better yet,
ask us questions, challenge us and tell us what you would like to see more of –
and less of – in the newspaper and on kentucky.com.
