(Editor’s note: Towards the end of December, news organizations across the world annually publish lists of the top stories from each year. Let’s face it, COVID-19 is going to be the top story on pretty much every top 10 list everywhere. Given that 2020 is a year unlike any others, the staff of the News Journal has decided to do a top 10 list unlike any other.
With in-person classes canceled for the rest of the school year, and traditional graduations not possible because of COVID–19, local residents tried to help seniors make this a special year by placing signs on the north end of downtown Corbin celebrating the Corbin seniors in May. Williamsburg and Whitley County had similar efforts.
