Company Profile

Company Description:

Mountain State Spotlight was founded in 2020 by MacArthur Fellow Ken Ward Jr. and veteran West Virginia editor Greg Moore. Joined by Pulitzer Prize-winner Eric Eyre, they’re powering an independent, civic news organization that helps West Virginians understand our state’s issues and its potential.

In addition to our co-founders, our team includes a managing editor, a development manager and five reporters. We are backed by Report for America, the American Journalism Project, and ProPublica, and have big plans to grow to give our neighbors the journalism they want, need and deserve.
