Extension Journalism for a small but lively town

The Midway Messenger is a mostly online publication for the small but very interesting town of Midway, Ky., between Lexington and the state capital of Frankfort. Most stories are written by students in the community journalism classes of Al Cross, extension professor at the University of Kentucky School of Journalism and Media and director of its Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues. The Messenger, founded in January 2008, has three goals: to give students real-world experience covering public affairs and other topics of interest in a community; to serve a community that has a strong streak of independence and once has its own newspaper; and to serve as an example of online community journalism. The Messenger publishes a print edition about twice a year.
