Our New Show Launches Thursday!
This Thursday we will post the first episode of our new show, "The State of Kentucky." It will be a combination of news, analysis, and commentary, with short interviews intermixed with story-telling, and a closing commentary.
Announcing Our New ForwardKY Calendar!
We are excited to announce a new service for Kentucky progressives, activists, and volunteers – the ForwardKY Calendar! Our hope is that eventually this calendar will be a significant resource for the entire state. Please share this link with others, and send us your events!
The Twenty Top Posts for 2017
In this last week of 2017, as we wind down 2017 and look forward to a big 2018, we thought it would be good to list our most popular content from the past year. These are the posts, podcasts, and cartoons that garnered the most attention from you, our readers.

Yes, We’ve Added Ads – Here’s Why
As you have probably noticed by now, we have added Google Ads to the site. It was not an easy decision. Let me explain why we did it.
We’ve Added Forums
A recent development on the site: We have turned off the comments feature on stories, and added forums. Let me explain why.
We’re on Medium and Apple News
After some weeks of making sure everything was ready, ForwardKY is publishing on both Apple News and Medium. Check it out!
Non-Member Comments
For a while, we've only allowed members to comment on stories. Starting today, we've switched to allowing non-members to comment.
2017 – The Year of Expansion
We've done our first crowdfunding drive, gotten through the elections (ugh), and added some great contributors. Now is the time for Forward Kentucky to use 2017 as our Year of Expansion.

As part of our growing emphasis on the journalism part of our mission, we'll be adding news curation to our posts.
