Kolton Rutherford’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm the Senior Reporter for the Log Cabin Democrat in Conway, Ark. In my time at the Log Cabin, I've covered many beats and topics, including politics, education, local, county, state and national government, as well as community news and others. I believe in a press that is empowering, informative and connective and I try to bring those three traits to every story I write.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I was a freelance writer for my parents' small community newspaper.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Hmmmm... this is tough. But, the reporters from The West Wing inspire me with how good a job they do asking the tough questions.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

This is a tough question. But, I believe in a press that is informative, empowering and connective. And that's how I approach my job.
