Co-owner Scott Bartle said Kennard’s experience made him a natural fit for the role. “David is a real pro and will do a great job telling the stories that make Buckeye special,” he said. “ InBuckeye and the whole city will benefit greatly from his decades of newsroom, leadership and management experience.” Most recently, Kennard served as news editor for EastIdahoNews.com in Idaho Falls and as executive editor for North Carolina’s The Robesonian . With those papers, he not only produced a steady flow of online articles but also increased breaking news coverage and follow-up stories. Looking ahead, Kennard said he wants to bring that same focus to InBuckeye while ensuring the publication continues to focus on local priorities, such as public safety, business and education. “We’re here to provide a service to readers through good, solid journalism,” he said. “We just want to make sure that the issues are covered responsibly and thoroughly.” Kennard's move to Buckeye marks a return to the state for the career journalist, who lived in the Phoenix area as a child. "We lived in Maryvale back in the day," Kennard said. "I have very fond memories of the area. My father was going to school at Arizona State, so I still cheer for the Sun Devils — although Mom was a Kansas Jayhawk, so we had some spirited debates during football season.” Kennard and his wife, Suesan, have four grown children living in Idaho and Washington.

D AVID KENNARD HAS SPENT MOST OF HIS WORKING LIFE WRITING FOR AND EDITING COMMUNITY papers. “My first job was with a small weekly newspaper, and I covered everything from crime to education to business. It was small, so we had a small staff, and everybody covered everything,” he recalls. Even after moving into larger newsrooms, Kennard time and again returned to community-oriented papers. Why? “I think this job really allows me to write a crime story in the morning but also dive into an education feature story... it just offers a wide variety of news,” he said. That variety is partly what drew the veteran news editor to his new role as publisher for InBuckeye . NEW TO BUCKEYE; NOT TO NEWS InBuckeye welcomes David Kennard as new publisher BY MONICA D.
