MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN WEST VIRGINIA

Appalachian geography historically fostered a localized press network of independent daily and weekly publications that are increasingly consolidating under regional owners like Ogden Newspapers and HD Media. The primary statewide publication is the Charleston Gazette-Mail, formed by the merger of the historically liberal Charleston Gazette and the conservative Charleston Daily Mail. Further north, the family-owned Dominion Post serves Morgantown with a conservative editorial stance, while Wheeling-headquartered Ogden Newspapers publishes the oldest continuously operating daily, The Intelligencer. Serving the flagship university community, The Daily Athenaeum operates as an independent student-run alternative. Paperboy indexes 33 West Virginia newspapers — browse the full directory below.
