Louisville is known for its culture, neighborhoods, institutions and entrepreneurial energy. A community with that breadth needs credible local journalism that makes public life easier to understand.
Our mission is to raise the level of civic engagement through reporting about government, education, health, the economy, culture and community life. We focus on the facts readers need, the context behind them and the practical consequences of public decisions.
That work means examining records, asking direct questions and seeking informed perspectives. We cover consequential developments at public institutions, track local policy and business activity, and explore disparities that affect neighborhoods throughout the region.
A free and useful public resource

Transparency is central to that approach. Readers can review our mission and team overview, our public Code of Ethics and our Financial Transparency Policy. Questions, corrections and news tips are welcome through our contact page.
