Ryan Kath - They call him Russ Ptacek 2.0 but he really has his own style and method for investigating Kansas City.
EJ Becker - Our favorite morning talker who keeps things light but still informative.
Hey Cameraman - Kansas City's digital news gathering guide.
JACKSON COUNTY INFLUENCE

Victor Callahan - The local politico, his war chest and Union support that will determine who stays and who goes . . .
The Layoffs That Didn't Happen - More than a few people are gone and Kansas City mainstream media accepts spin that their layoffs were avoided.
Girl Power - The philosophy that has only created division among Legislators.
Eastern Jack - The enclave that inspires fear.
