KENTUCKY — It’s been an unusual year, to say the least.
While it began like any normal year, it soon became anything but. Between a global pandemic that has claimed the lives of millions, protests that birthed a national reckoning on racial justice, and a presidential election conducted unlike any other, there is an endless number of stories to tell.
Our job at Spectrum News 1 is to tell the stories that matter most to Kentucky and the communities that call the Bluegrass home. In 2020, we’ve done our best to do just that. As the year closes out, we’re reflecting on some of the top stories that defined 2020 in Kentucky. Look back with us in the interactive timeline below:
