Local media and social media are important that individuals and families consult when making decisions about their health, finances, and environment. In central Kentucky, Extension continues its presence on national television affiliates (ABC and CBS). 4-H Youth Development, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Family and Consumer Sciences faculty, specialists, and county agents appear multiple times each month. From July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, UK Extension presented 24 segments in Lexington reaching an average of 34,000 viewers in central and eastern Kentucky with each segment. Links to the Extension segments are shared on social media by several main campus and county office accounts. Local media outlets seek Extension information for the wide variety of topics Extension addresses with research based information and educational opportunities.
