39th Street is a major east–west street in Kansas City, Missouri, running almost 5 miles from State Line Road at the Kansas-Missouri border to Topping Avenue in Kansas City's East Side. It was originally named Rosedale Avenue as it led to the town of Rosedale. It continues west into Kansas as 39th Avenue through The University of Kansas Hospital's Kansas City, Kansas, campus. Running through Kansas City's urban core, 39th Street connects many historic neighborhoods including Volker, Roanoke, Westport, Hyde Park, Squier Park, and Ivanhoe. It plays an important role as an east-west artery, providing cross-town traffic with access to most of Kansas City's main north-south thoroughfares: State Line Road, Southwest Trafficway, Broadway Boulevard, Main Street, Gillham Road, Troost Avenue, The Paseo, U.S. Route 71, Prospect Avenue, and Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard. West of Gillham Road, 39th Street is zoned predominantly commercial or mixed-use space as compared to residential zoning to the east.

The Beacon (Kansas City)

The Beacon is a non-profit online news outlet in the Kansas City metropolitan area focusing on public-interest journalism. It is Kansas City’s first regional nonprofit news outlet that is not a public television or radio station.It was founded in 2020 by Kelsey Ryan, a former Investigative journalist for the Kansas City Star and a 2018 Pulitzer Prize finalist. It launched earlier than planned on March 12, 2020, in response to community information needs with the COVID-19 pandemic. The news network is overseen by an eight-member Board of Directors and the Kansas City newsroom works with a 10-member community advisory board. The news organization received initial funding from a Google News Initiative Innovation Challenge in 2019 and has received additional funding from the Solutions Journalism Network in order to write about broadband infrastructure in Kansas and Missouri. It is a member of the Institute for Nonprofit News, Local Independent Online News Publishers (LION), and the Kansas Press Association.The Beacon won the 2020 "Emerging Publisher" award from Local Independent Online News (LION) Publishers. It also won the 2021 "Community Champion" award from the Institute for Nonprofit News.In 2021, The Beacon expanded into a regional news network beyond Kansas City, and launched a second local newsroom in Wichita, Kansas, called The Wichita Beacon. The expansion into a regional news network from a single newsroom was spurred with a commitment of $1.1 million from the Wichita Community Foundation and funding from the American Journalism Project.
