The Edmonson Voice is a local online news network (edmonsonvoice.com) focusing on events and information in Edmonson County, Kentucky. It is based on a newspaper format with home, news, sports, and obits, and similar pages you would find in a standard paper, but all in a free, online version. Many users refer to the network as simply, "The Voice."

HISTORY The network was created by owner, publisher, and editor, Darren Doyle in August of 2014 after learning that Bill and Cathy Canty, the long-time owners of The Edmonson News, the county's local newspaper, had plans to retire soon. Doyle, who had spent the last several years in music and radio production as well as working with several other regional media outlets, saw an opportunity for the first online news network in the county to happen without damaging the livelihood of the Cantys, as they were nearing retirement.

EdmonsonVoice.com began to grow over the course of the next year and became a hit among news and information readers in Edmonson County, all around the same time the Cantys announced their retirement.

The Edmonson Voice is updated daily and also carries online live broadcasts of sporting events from Edmonson County High School.
