About Me

Kenneth Heard
Jonesboro, Ark.
After working more than 35 years as a newspaper reporter, including nearly two decades as the northeast Arkansas bureau correspondent for the Arkanss Democrat-Gazette, Kenneth Heard now has a new vocation. He was laid off at the Democrat-Gazette in October 2017 and, in the era of journalistic economic demise, he found work at a local newspaper. Heard is not known for his brains. He later changed jobs, working as the communications director for a county prosecutor. During his tenure with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, he covered the 1998 Westside Middle School shootings; the West Memphis 3 murders, trial and subsequent release of the three defendants; was the weather reporter covering tornadoes, floods, drought and wildfires; and other mayhem. He has also taught English and journalism at two universities, been a television reporter and photographer, a golf course greenskeeper, a cable television installer and salesman, a junkyard worker, a repo man, a hotel desk clerk, a security guard, a lolligagger and a romantic dreamer. He has been rolling some form of APBA games since 1977 and will probably be buried clutching the iconic red and white dice of the game.
