100 Days in Appalachia

100 Days in Appalachia is a nonprofit newsroom that exists to detail the complex ecosystem that makes up the Appalachian region by weaving beats, including culture, health, religion, politics, environment, and tech across generations. We’re here to amplify the region’s diverse voices, celebrate our successes, investigate our failures and empower our communities – and help other newsrooms do the same.
