OWENSBORO, Ky. – There’s a new journalist in Owensboro, Kentucky. Audrey Neel, 11, decided to start her own newspaper and distribute it to family, friends, and neighbors.

Audrey is the founder, editor, and primary writer behind the Owensboro Kids Chronicle, which published its first issue in October, and has been coming out monthly ever since. The paper has sections dedicated to entertainment, nature, art, and more.

Things really took off for the paper when Audrey’s grandpa gave her a color printer for Christmas to update the then-black and white paper. Her parents say it’s impressive to watch her work.
