Current Position

Location: Charleston, West Virginia

Beat: Public health threats in West Virginia

Position:

Coverage of public health threats in West Virginia to bring back more frequent enterprise coverage of vital issues facing our state. Part of our hope is that we can foster creation of a West Virginia nonprofit organization that would, among other things, grow the resources to continue the work of those corps members when their RFA stints are over. As the Seattle Times is doing, our long-term goal would be to use the community’s support to greatly expand our enterprise team.
