We accept editorials of around 200 words, news articles of 200-500 words, policy briefs of 700 words or less, and features of 1500-3500 words. Features include investigations and research reports. Themes:
- Kentucky's role in a year of genocide and resistance
- What industrial and agricultural policy is possible, popular, and just in Kentucky?
- Racism and gender discrimination policy proposals
- Universal public goods and means-tested programs in the Commonwealth
- "The Kentucky Party is a tool. How do you want to see it used?"
At this time we have no revenue stream, and do not pay writers.

Be clear: Do you have a lead? Are you pitching a story? Are you responding to a story or editorial?
Style
We use the AP style guide, with greater allowance for polemic. We aim to be understood by people with low literacy. We don't print coarse language. We encourage nonprofessional writers to consult Letter to a Teacher by the school boys of Barbiana and Strunk and White's Elements of Style. We eliminate every needless word.
Partnership
We want to work on and publish stories in partnership with journalist shops and other outlets.
