2007 marked the inception of west-virginia-news, a platform born from the recognition of an information void within the vibrant state of West Virginia. Our journey began with a clear vision: to become a beacon of accurate and unbiased news for residents and enthusiasts alike, ensuring that our readers remained well-informed about the events shaping their communities.
Over the years, west-virginia-news has steadfastly upheld its commitment to integrity and transparency. Our milestones are marked by our dedication to journalistic excellence, including our expansion of coverage, the introduction of multimedia content, and the recognition we’ve received for our reporting. In 2010, we solidified our reputation with a significant achievement: the launch of our first interactive feature, allowing readers to engage directly with the news. This was followed by numerous accolades from local governance bodies, recognizing our contribution to informed citizenry.

Our core values—integrity, impartiality, and innovation—guide us in our mission to enlighten and empower the citizens of West Virginia.
