On this West Virginia Morning, we’re in peak winter cold and flu season. If you feel under the weather, how do you know when it’s time to see a doctor? Through the Appalachia Mid+South Newsroom, we bring you a new project called HealthQ. Reporters Cara Anthony and Blake Farmer are your approachable guides to an unapproachable health care system.
Also, a growing movement to make Appalachia the “truffle capital of the world,” is being led by a small-town farmer in southern Kentucky. Derek Parham with member station WKYU walked the woods of Newtown Truffiere, a truffle farm south and west of Lexington, and has the details.
West Virginia Morning is a production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting which is solely responsible for its content.
Support for our news bureaus comes from Shepherd University and Marshall University School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
