West Virginia Watch
U.S. center-left (nonprofit state news network)
West Virginia Watch is a nonprofit state government and policy news site run by States Newsroom. It calls itself nonpartisan, but critics say the network's funding and opinion pages lean left. Its reporting mostly covers how federal and state policy, including Trump administration actions, affects West Virginians. I could not do a systematic review of its recent coverage, so the 'mixed' rating is a cautious estimate.
Owned byOperated by States Newsroom, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. West Virginia Watch is one of its state affiliates and has no individual owner.
