As 2022 comes to a close, we're looking back on a year of covering the most memorable news that the Louisville area had to offer. We wrote hard-hitting stories on the state of Louisville's jail and policing, cultural spotlights on dancers and artists, and feature profiles on offbeat subjects like a psychedelic mushroom church and a professional wizard — plus so much more.

We've put a selection of some of our favorite longform stories and cover features of the year into one convenient collection, arranged in alphabetical order and linked in each headline.
