From mid-June through mid-August I worked as a contributing editor for 100 Days in Appalachia.

I posted a short thread on Twitter about my departure from the digital publication.

I contributed a number of stories to 100 Days in Appalachia through the summer:

– Trump’s Proposed Infrastructure Improvements Remain a Windy Road for Commuters in Appalachia

– Can ‘Berniecrats’ Win in Appalachia?

– How a Rash of Tick-Borne Illnesses is Challenging Appalachian Health Systems

– How the Annual Remote Area Medical Clinic in Wise, Virginia, Became Ground Zero for Parachute Journalists Writing about Healthcare in Appalachia

– What Congress Can Learn from West Virginia About Tax Reform and Budgets

– With Trump, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice Announces he’s Becoming a Republican. Again.

– How a 40-Year-Old Federal Law Literally Changed the Appalachian Landscape

– Appalachia Can’t Close the Health Disparity Gap Until it Fixes its Hospitals

Probably my favorite story for 100 Days involved visiting Camp Lincoln, a Goldwater-era conservative leadership camp near Webster, WV, where I watched teenagers debate recreational marijuana and practice political maneuvers to introduce last-minute legislation and push it into law.

If I squinted, I could see the future.
