Eric King joined the ACLU of Kentucky as the Digital Communications Strategist in June 2025, bringing more than two decades of experience as a classically trained broadcast journalist. Over the years, he’s covered some of the country’s biggest news events, always with a focus on telling stories that matter. Now, he’s using that same storytelling power to modernize and digitize the ACLU’s communications across all platforms.
A proud University of Louisville graduate with a degree in sociology and a certification from the Diversity Executive Leadership Academy, Eric is passionate about building strategies that amplify every voice. His work has earned him four Emmy Awards and an Edward R. Murrow Award for documentary writing—but he’s most proud of working daily to ensure equity isn’t just an ideal, but a reality.
