Big personal news: I've left the Herald-Leader, but I'll still be covering the Kentucky men's basketball team full time. If you enjoyed my coverage in the past, I’ll need your support to make this work. Here’s more on my new (independent!) approach: insidekentuckybasketball.com…

In her remarks celebrating the IOP's 60th anniversary, Amb. Caroline Kennedy reflected on its enduring legacy & its charge to each new generation: question the status quo, work with those you disagree with, & recognize that politics & public service are worthy of your talents.

It's been a little over a week since McClatchy's mass layoffs. I wrote about what's at stake when communities lose local journalists. McClatchy laid me off. The need for local journalism didn’t go with me. poynter.org/commentary/2026/…

I was hired to fill a gap in local news coverage. Seven years later, that gap is widening again.

I decided to take the amount I was spending each month for my @heraldleader subscription and instead reallocate it to the @KYLantern, @KET, @LouPubMedia, and @Linknky. I want to support organizations that cover Kentucky politics and government.
Tres Watson@treswatsonSep 10
So, it looks like the @heraldleader decided Sept 20, 2026 was as good a day as any to cease being an outlet that actually covers Lexington, KY. High school sports, city Hall, the KY General Assembly, KY health issues? They fired everyone who covers those beats today. (1/4)

Today was a bittersweet day - my last appearance on @KET with the incomparable @reneemshaw. Renee is retiring today after an illustrious career which saw her become the most trusted voice in Kentucky news and public affairs. It was an honor to be asked by her to regularly offer analysis on Election Night and Kentucky Edition to viewers across the Commonwealth. Tune in tonight - for one last time - as @bobbabbage and I discuss the week’s political news with Renee.
