Joey and Lindsey Young were recently featured on Iowa Public Broadcasting Service in a piece entitled “Kansas Newspaper Publishers Try New Strategies.”
The Youngs are the majority owners of Kansas Publishing Ventures, which oversees the publication of three weekly newspapers in south central Kansas. They are becoming increasingly known for their innovative approach to business—implementing everything from an annual blues concert in their community to hosting readers monthly for drinks and conversation for Press Club.
Past presenters at Wisconsin Newspaper Association conventions, the Youngs were also featured in a recently published book, “Reviving Rural News.” They also aid newspapers around the country to train community members to work in their newsrooms with Earn Your Press Pass, on-demand journalism training, and offer The Newspaper Sales Training Course to train newspaper multimedia representatives in sales techniques. Both training courses are available through WNA.
