The Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues helps non-metropolitan media define the public agenda in their communities,
through strong reporting and commentary on local issues and
on broader issues that have local impact. Its initial focus
area is Central Appalachia, but as an arm of the University
of Kentucky it has a statewide mission, and it has national
scope. Cooperating institutions include Appalachian State
University, East Tennesee State University, Eastern Kentucky
University, Marshall University, the University of North Carolina-Chapel
Hill, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and West Virginia
University. To get notices of Rural Blog postings and
