Forbes Magazine
Features Kentucky's Unbridled Spirit
Governor Ernie Fletcher and Steve Forbes, President & CEO
of Forbes Inc., recently promoted the release of a special section in Forbes
magazine intended to showcase Kentucky to the country's top business and
tourism executives.
Forbes produced the segment, titled, "Kentucky Unbridled
Spirit," with assistance from the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development and
the Kentucky Commerce Cabinet. The section appeared in the May 22, 2006, issues
of Forbes and Forbes Asia.
"We want to encourage more jobs and people to come to Kentucky,
and Forbes is the perfect vehicle for us to use to make that happen,
said Governor Ernie Fletcher."
Forbes, together with its international edition, Forbes
Asia, reaches an audience of 5.2 million readers. Forbes has
been the consistent leader among major business publications in the economic
development-advertising category, according to Publishers Information Bureau
(PIB).
"I became interested in Kentucky's progress last year when
Governor Fletcher brought his top economic development and tourism leaders to
my office in New York to discuss the state's progress and to ask us to partner
with them on this effort," said Steve Forbes. "I then came to Kentucky last
December and met with Kentucky local business and tourism leaders. This
supplement very effectively showcases the excitement and progressive attitude
Kentucky has to offer."
