Our Mission
We empower residents to engage with their communities through accessible public service journalism.
Our Vision

Our Values
- Empowerment. Free, comprehensive local journalism supports a thriving democracy and community.
- Respect. Our coverage is fair, inclusive, and respectful of all residents’ experiences — countering destructive narratives about Appalachia.
- Accessibility. We present complex information in a way everyone can understand for free.
- Accuracy. We recognize what we don’t know, and if we make a mistake, we’ll own it. Objectivity is a method for gathering and reporting the news. Where there’s bullshit, we’ll call bullshit.
- Independence. Our reporting is independent from advertisers, funders, and authorities.
- Fun. Because!
