Wow. Kate Mishkin, one of the most talented reporters to come through the Charleston (WV) Gazette-Mail, is now writing screenplays and winning awards. Can't wait to see this -- POLITICS JR. -- turned into a TV series.

Either the universe or the judges have a sense of humor — I’m over the moon to share that my pilot "Politics Jr." is a semifinalist (top 2%!!) at @austinfilmfest. I'm in really good company: https://t.co/pVyCctjTct https://t.co/fQnRpBJB8T

Webster Co., West Virginia, native Josh Stewart @J0SHSTEWART, an acclaimed Hollywood movie and TV actor/avid fly fisherman, has now cast his line into short story writing. And it's a hell of a debut! Already #1 on Amazon charts. Congrats, Josh! https://t.co/o9ijYEnrDz

On a dusty field in West Virginia’s southern coalfields, cops, social workers and people recovering from addiction meet up once a year for games of softball. The response to the region's drug overdose crisis “needs to be kind and loving” https://t.co/egDVJzjHyo

What an amazing film by West Virginia's own Elaine Sheldon. Best Documentary of 2023 -- by a mile, IMHO. Thrilled to see KING COAL will be reaching an even wider audience.

In West Virginia, the state is placing foster kids in motel rooms and cabins. But Gov. Jim Justice's administration refuses to disclose which ones and where. More dogged reporting by @ameliaknisely about the collapse of WV's child welfare system. https://t.co/laZbMGlHwg
