Kansas News and Commentary

To keep Kansans abreast of the Kansas Legislature's deliberations and other happenings or editorial opinions and letters of state-wide interest, a new blog entitled, Kansas News, has been started. The URL, http://www.ksnews.org/, will access the site.

KansasNews provides links to news stories and commentary in 40 of Kansas' daily newspapers. The Web sites for the 40 dailies are checked daily, usually in the morning, but not at an ungodly early hour, for items that fit the broad criteria stated above. Each post is identified by the name of the newspaper and a link is provided to newspaper story or op-ed piece that fit the criteria. Beside the article's headline and its first sentence or two, other information when available on the paper's Web site, such as the date, writer, news service, etc. is included with the post.

The work is being done by two persons at this time. Additional volunteer workers are sought to do one (1) paper each day and to be an alternate for another worker to insure that all the day's postings are available in a timely manner and that the work will go on despite absences of individual workers. Persons interested in helping with the KansasNews blog are urged to contact this blog with their name and phone number.
