Steve Fesenmaier passed along This One from American Journalism Review on West Virginia’s rural weeklies. They call them \"invaluable voices,\" as they are often the only source of local news.
They say when you\'re the editor and co-owner of an aggressive weekly in a struggling West Virginia county, population 10,291, it\'s tough to find a story where interests don\'t collide. Almost everything you write involves someone you know.
