Our Mission

The Real WV is a nonprofit multimedia organization. We reach beyond the headlines to touch the heart of Appalachian identity. By celebrating good news and honestly facing bad news, we tell real stories about real West Virginians and the experiences that shape them.

We offer all content for free in order to promote an informed citizenry across West Virginia. We hold complete editorial independence to tell the real story with no filters.
