Behind the Headlines

I hope you have noticed that over the past year Kentucky.com has continued grow and evolve as a way we provide readers with
up-to-date news and information. This year, Kentucky.com has already enjoyed a
record 90 million page views.

Kentucky.com also offers us a way to give readers
information in formats that simply aren’t possible in print. In some cases,
that means posting the audio from an event, a press conference or a speech. It
other cases, it means posting legal documents that are simply too large to
publish in the newspaper. 

This week marks another milestone, as we move into video production. We’re starting with commentary from two of the most
familiar people on our staff – editorial cartoonist Joel Pett and sports
columnist Mark Story. 

Joel will post a video commentary on Mondays and Mark will have a commentary on Friday.
Joel’s first commentary went up earlier this week, and Mark’s will be posted Friday. Of course, Mark and Joel  will continue to appear
in the daily newspaper. The video commentary is just one more way that
Kentucky.com allows our staff to provide readers with news, information,
commentary and analysis. 

The commentaries are made in our own studio by content
producer David Robinson. They are then edited and approved in the same way that
the cartoons and columns are when they appear in the newspaper. 

Let me know what you think of them.
