The Future of Local Journalism in West Virginia
Steward: Crystal Good
Facilitator: Traci Phillips
How can local journalism challenge mainstream narratives in West Virginia? This group addressed journalism's role in West Virginia's democracy, partnering with Black By God, The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation, and News Futures to develop local journalism that challenges mainstream narratives. We held an event in Charleston, WV in October to convene, inspire and connect civic media across the state and invigorate support for local journalism to be seen as an essential community resource.
