PR Needs | Kentucky News Connection

since 2008

"KNC reaches markets our other media efforts often don't reach...delivers stories to media outlets that often don't have capacity to produce their own." – Jerry Hardt, Kentuckians For The Commonwealth
"In a media landscape often obsessed with first-responder type spot news on house fires and crime, Kentucky News Connection is a megaphone for what matters, and KNC matters in countless ways." – Renee Shaw, Journalist
�We�ve partnered with Public News Service for more than a decade. Something I�ve noticed is that PNS clips make up a greater share of our clips each year because fewer outlets are covering issues that matter. One of those issues post-pandemic has been youth mental health, and PNS has reported on this in depth, providing key information as lawmakers across the country have taken action to help kids.� – Beau Boughamer, Senior Communications Manager, The Annie E. Casey Foundation
"Proud to contribute to this plucky, tireless news organization!" – Mark Scheerer, Editor, PNS
"We and our listeners very much enjoy your programming. I absolutely love the short audio that I can fit in between our major programs on our broadcast networks." – Alex Flyn, Tech and Communications Coordinator, Audio Information Network of Colorado
"The Public News Service shares our passion to investigate the truth, holds those in power accountable, and seeks solutions. We have had the pleasure of working on several reporting projects with them and we hope to do so in the future. Their knowledge and expertise makes a big difference." – Lucia Walinchus, Executive Director, Eye on Ohio�The Ohio Center for Investigative Journalism
�During the pandemic, I had to put everything on pause, including my reporting. Over time, I started to feel farther and farther from my love of journalism. Through my internship at Ohio News Connection, I have reconnected with the part of myself that loves reporting on intriguing topics and bringing new perspectives to the table. I am abundantly grateful for my opportunity to grow and learn at ONC.� – Kennedi Coombs, student, School of Media and Journalism, Kent State University
�Every year, our student interns thrive in their internships with Ohio News Connection. As they report ambitious stories in the public interest, they�re coached every step of the way. They�ve found stories in court documents, the state legislature and in their own backyards. The learning experience has been especially meaningful during the two summers affected by Covid-19 when other opportunities for reporting were limited.� – Jacqueline Marino, Professor, School of Media and Journalism, Kent State University
"We count on the Ohio News Connection to cover food and agriculture stories that traditional media sometimes ignores. In the past year, ONC has reported on the impact of COVID-19 on small family farms, policy recommendations for making our food system more resilient in the face of the pandemic�s supply disruptions, elder farmer�s struggles transitioning the farm to the next generation, beginning farmers� difficulties accessing affordable farmland, agricultural solutions to the climate crisis, and other issues affecting the future of our food system. The opportunity to work with an organization whose mission is to inform and educate Ohioans and to tell the important stories that need to be told extends our reach and impact." – Carol Goland, Ph.D., Executive Director, Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association
"Always a blessing to work for a company like PNS!!" – Vinny Monroy-Tello, Spanish Media Associate, PNS
"I want to thank you for the service you provide. I am certain our listeners appreciate your work as well. Thanks!" – Dirk DeVault, Program Director/General Manager, Cove Mountain Educational Broadcasting Inc. / WWCF 88.7 FM Maryland/Pennsylvania
"I can't think of a better way to contribute to meeting the challenges of our day, and there is certainly no better platform or team capable than right here at PNS. It's an honor to be working alongside all of you." – Eric Galatas, Bureau Chief, Public News Service
"I've never felt any work I've done was more important than at this time and at this company -- and it's been a pure joy over these years to work with so many dedicated people who share this commitment." – Dallas Heltzell, Editor, PNS

�The Public News Service has been a vital part of our civic mission here at Eye on Ohio. As a public benefit corporation, they share our mission to support the community through in-depth, underreported, and high-impact journalism. They are also just wonderful to work with, and we highly recommend them to anyone.� – Lucia Walinchus, Executive Director, Eye on Ohio � The Ohio Center for Investigative Journalism
"We count on the Ohio News Connection to cover things that traditional media sometimes ignores. Mary did an excellent report about how pay stubs protect working people who are paid low wages. ONC�s mission is to inform and educate Ohioans and to tell the stories that need to be told � not just the ones that are most likely to generate clicks." – Hannah Halbert, Executive Director, Policy Matters Ohio
�Amid COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest and the 2020 Presidential race, Ohio News Connection continues to be a reliable source of news for people throughout the state. The news cycle is moving at a rapid pace these days, and our story releases offer short-staffed outlets an easy way to access more in-depth content. Specifically in 2020, the support of the George Gund Foundation has allowed us to broaden the scope of the issues we typically cover, and highlight the issues of civil unrest, racial discrimination and social justice. We�ve also been able to report on the pandemic�s impact on health, homelessness, hospitalizations, employment, small businesses and even the Olympic games. Our reporting on election-related issues has been especially crucial given the continued attacks on voting rights, and the pandemic�s impact on the 2020 primary. Meanwhile, the collaborations with Kent State University and Eye on Ohio continue to boost our reporting on important public interest stories in the state. Thanks to the Gund Foundation�s support, Ohio News Connection continues to be a platform for lifting up the voices that are not heard on the 6 o�clock news.� – Mary Kuhlman, Producer, Ohio News Connection

"With �fake news� accusations and other attacks on the media, it is becoming increasingly difficult for journalists to lift up the voices of those who cannot speak for themselves. The North Carolina News Service continues to be a reliable source for stories that go beyond the headlines. NCNS not only enlightens North Carolinians about matters that can impact their lives, but is also able to dive deeper and offer possible solutions. � – Antoinette Kerr, Author, Modern Media Relations for Nonprofits: Creating an Effective PR Strategy for Today's World and part-time NCNS producer, NCNS
"The North Carolina News Service provides an essential service to audiences across North Carolina, delivering information on important stories that otherwise may not receive wide coverage. As access to newspapers and other traditional media outlets becomes more challenging, media outlets like North Carolina News Service play a more vital role in providing the public with the information they need to keep up with rapidly changing news cycle in a timely and effective way." – David Di Martino, Founding Partner, Blue Engine
"PNS actually takes the time to reach out to stations -- terrestrial and online -- about utilizing their daily news segments. They're also not picky about the reuse of their content, unlike the Associated Press or Reuters." – Jake Leonard, Managing Editor, Heartland Newsfeed
"Audio, script and photo availability are great. Issues are typically of immediate interest or can be held and used within a week or so, which is also great." – Jody Heemstra, News and Farm Director, Dakota Radio Group

"You folks do great work!" – Lisa Caruso, Chesapeake Bay Foundation
"Ohio News Connection (ONC) is providing a critical public service by reporting on fracking in Ohio. With over 3,200 producing oil and gas wells in the state, any potential environmental and health risks associated with fracking can affect millions of Ohioans. ONC recently highlighted a report by Partnership for Policy Integrity and FracTracker Alliance which showed that Ohioans may be unknowingly exposed to toxic secret drilling and fracking chemicals through multiple pathways including leaks, spills, air emissions and underground migration at oil and gas production wells. These are extremely serious risks that should be addressed in Ohio. Reporting on these issues will continue to be of utmost importance, considering issues such as industry plans for expanding petrochemical production into the Ohio River Valley to create the United States' second mega petrochemical hub." – Shannon Smith, Manager of Communications & Development, FracTracker Alliance
"Ohio News Connection has expanded the scope of issues covered over the past year, thanks to the continued support from the George Gund Foundation. With the opioid crisis continuing to plague Ohio, we produced a special five-part series on addiction and crime. It allowed us to dive much deeper into the root causes of the epidemic and examine solutions. We started a new collaboration with the Ohio Center for Investigative Journalism, producing broadcast versions of Eye on Ohio Stories. Those included a commercial tax loophole that hurts small business, growing concerns about the need for guardians for the aging population, and progress in Ohio to combat sexual violence. Our collaboration with Kent State University continued, providing a platform for aspiring journalists to share their work. Topics covered include the impact of the China tariffs on Ohio farmers, concerns about the JobsOhio program after Governor Kasich, and efforts to prevent communities like Cuyahoga County from passing plastic shopping bag bans. We�ve also continued promoting the work of organizations like FracTracker Alliance, Policy Matters Ohio, the ACLU, and the League of Women Voters. And our readers and listeners benefit from our reporting. The continued support from the George Gund Foundation is helping Ohio News Connection to shine as a news source that goes beyond the headlines." – Mary Kuhlman, Producer, Ohio News Connection
"What I love about the Public News Service is that it brings together skilled local journalists covering important social issues, then folds all that into a platform that is flexible and easy to use within the context of our daily community radio newscast. I often find the local stories from other parts of the nation exactly dovetail with what's going on in our local community--from climate change to unemployment, police accountability, labor and local politics. All our local communities are connected and your work shows that. The coverage itself is smart and touches on what's important, but it's also insightful when taken as an overall web of journalism. One of the things I worry about the most about the collapse of local journalism is the loss of our shared history--but your work in my opinion is a powerful tool in creating "the first draft of history" as my college journalism professors use to say. For this reason I think the Public News Service is actually working in service to democracy, and that is actually the deepest role of media: strengthening what we know about the world around us so we can participate in a meaningful way. YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!!" – Lisa Loving, KBOO, Portland, OR
"After more than 20 years in print journalism, I found the Public News Service's polarity management training innovative for newsrooms. Lark's training helped to enrich my stories and help de-demonize some contentious issues by identifying where the �fight� is. It challenged the way that I collected research and approached interviews by setting a framework for polarities like individual vs. collective responsibility or long term priorities vs. short term." – Antoinette Kerr, Former NCNS Producer, CEO of Bold & Bright Media, and Author, "Modern Media Relations for Nonprofits"
�My students� investigation into officer-involved shootings garnered a small audience when we published it on our own website, but that audience grew to nearly a quarter-million people via PNS�s partner stations. That reach made it possible for CU News Corps to amplify its message and to draw greater attention to our stories, which spurred Colorado legislators to change state law and require all law-enforcement agencies in the state to report officer-involved shootings." – Jeff Browne, Director (former), CU News Corps - University of Colorado Boulder
"We enjoy working with PNS � they're efficient, timely, and willing to work with us to get our piece to outlets that would have never seen it otherwise. Because of PNS's distribution, our piece reached the very communities we were reporting on, giving us the chance to meet readers where they are." – Stephanie Jimenez, Media Relations Manager, Rewire.news

Public New Service boosts our impact by broadcasting those stories to often isolated communities where local media can be a nonpartisan lifeline of ideas and inspiration." – Tracy Matsue Loeffelholz, Editorial and Creative Director, YES! Media

What Public News Service brings to the table is not just experience and reach -- lots of outlets have those � but also a commitment to substantive coverage of public-interest news, nationally and in the states.

You do it well.� – Dave Rinebolt, Executive Director & Counsel, Ohio Partners for Affordable Energy
