West Virginia Watch
U.S. center-left
West Virginia Watch is a nonprofit online news outlet launched in July 2023 as part of States Newsroom, a national network of state-focused nonprofit newsrooms. It covers West Virginia state government, policy, health, education, energy, and criminal justice, and does not charge for access. Although it presents itself as nonpartisan, its editorial output and commentary tilt left-of-center, and its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been broadly critical.
