What else should people know about your site:

West Virginia News was built on reporting news and events of interest to all residents in West Virginia and across the country. We cover controversial and sometimes sensational topics that main-stream media steer away from, and we print the facts, backed up by evidence to support each story. Our goal is to hold city, county, state and federal government officials, politicians and corporate leaders accountable for their actions while providing readers stories that are concise and powerful with few wasted words.
