On this West Virginia Morning, politicians have moved to enact camping bans at the local, state and federal level. As part of the WVPB newsroom’s series on homelessness, Briana Heaney spoke with people experiencing homelessness, and their advocates in the southern coal fields.
And each week, our reporters get together – sometimes with a reporter from a different news organization – to discuss some of the major issues they covered on our daily television program The Legislature Today. Recently, host Bri Heaney welcomed Duncan Slade, the deputy managing editor for the nonprofit newsroom Mountain State Spotlight. Here is part of that discussion.
