This didn't take long to travel. Another example of the importance of court reporting.

Admittedly, it's unusual to use a story we didn't publish as a reason people should subscribe to KentOnline Premium, but hopefully readers will understand the logic here bit.ly/4vBOL42

In the week of the @RegPressAwards, a post about the industry on LinkedIn has irritated me so much I have been moved to reactivate my long-neglected blog. iancarterblog.wordpress.com

Really pleased with this development and glad Iliffe will be playing a part in helping to train the next generation of journalists. @kmtv_kent has been involved in some fantastic projects going far beyond our original vision for the channel.

It's been a year since we launched a (very loose) paywall on @Kent_Online Things have gone pretty well, rounded off by winning Regional Website of the Year at last week's @pressgazette awards. There's a great team behind the site - this video introduces some of them.

Congratulations to the @Kent_Online team - named website of the year at tonight's Press Gazette #FutureMediaAwards

@BrandsRam @DFDSLiveUpdates Hi Brandon - I work for KentOnline and we're looking into this. Could you perhaps email me a contact number at joewalker@thekmgroup.co.uk please? Many thanks, Joe

@DFDSLiveUpdates Stuck on 10:40 Dover to Calais for 9 hours now. Any updates!???

Need any help with your journey? Ryan will be here shortly to take over and assist you tonight.🌛 🚢^KG

@ISmile2u2 @DFDSLiveUpdates Hi Sergii - I work for KentOnline and we're looking into this. Could you perhaps email me a contact number at joewalker@thekmgroup.co.uk please? Many thanks, Joe

@DFDSLiveUpdates We've been stuck on Cote D’opale since 10:40 this morning at the port of Dover. Would be great to have more police on the ship to figure things out faster.

DFDS Dover-Dunkerque services are operating with delays to all vessels up to 30 minutes. DFDS Dover-Calais services are operating with delays to all vessels up to 60 minutes. Cote D’opale departures for 1935 Ex Calais & 2110 Ex Dover have now been cancelled. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. #dfdshelp

@HelenWi91997744 @DFDSLiveUpdates Hi Helen - I work for KentOnline and we're looking into this. Could you perhaps email me a contact number at joewalker@thekmgroup.co.uk please? Many thanks, Joe

@DFDSLiveUpdates Please give us some information. Almost 10 hours since boarding now and we’re still on Cote D’Opale at Dover. Not allowed off. What legal basis are we being held under?

We're really proud to announce that all of the county's MPs have committed to supporting the @Kent_Online Blue Badge campaign. Together, I am sure we'll make a difference. Special thanks to @HelenGrantMP and @TrisOsborneMP for their hard work so far 👇 kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/ever…

If you haven't seen many @Kent_Online stories on Facebook lately, this is the reason. Thanks to @pressgazette for helping us resolve the issue but serious questions remain for Meta about how it intends to avoid others falling into the same trap. pressgazette.co.uk/news/facebook-…

I spoke today on the cross-party @Kent_Online Blue Badge Campaign which is securing support of Kent MPs including @ThreshedThought @HelenGrantMP Please do write to your local Kent MP x.com/Kent_Online/st…

Disappointing to see @TheSun ripping off a court case which only @Kent_Online sent a reporter to. It makes a mockery of the industry arguing via the @newsmediaorg for copyright protection and fair recompense from social platforms when the nationals act like this.

More tenacious work here from @Kent_Online reporter @BradDAHarper.

Much-deserved recognition for @BowlesMbowles at the Regional Press Awards. @MaxChesson also doing well to make a strong shortlist in the young journalist category. 👇

This excellent @Kent_Online exclusive by @Ollie_Leonard today is a great example of power being held to account, shining a light on the staggering sums of taxpayers' money spent on a divisive development without a brick ever being laid. Journalism worth paying for. 👇

It's been an extremely difficult and unsettling few months for @Kent_Online reporter @pallant_james, who in October was told he had an incurable disease. He's chosen to tell his story in this incredibly candid - and brilliantly written - piece in the hope it will help others.👇
