At West Virginia Today, students aren't just studying journalism - they're practicing it. In a fully functioning newsroom, they produce television stories that air statewide and digital content that reaches audiences online. Collaboration is at the heart of the process, with broadcast and digital teams working side by side to mirror the pace and standards of professional newsrooms. The experience not only prepares students with the skills and portfolio but also confidence to step into their journalism careers on day one.
West Virginia Today gives students the chance to work in a real newsroom, taking on roles as reporters, anchors, producers, videographers, digital writers, and social media managers. Together, they provide professional-quality coverage of issue that matter to communities across the state, from politics and public policy to education, health, and culture. Every story is produced with the goal of informing and engaging audiences, while giving students the opportunity to sharpen their craft in a deadline-driven environment.
Episodes produced by students can be seen on West Virginia Public Broadcasting, KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh and the City of Morgantown's Public Access Channel, as well as streamed on HD Media's websites. You can also watch West Virginia Today on on-campus television stations, online via the West Virginia Today website, and our College's Youtube channel.
