Election Coverage From Students And Regional Tobacco Production Declines, This West Virginia Morning – West Virginia Public Broadcasting
On this West Virginia Morning, Marshall University’s campus TV studio will be the election day hub for a nationwide broadcasting network of collegiate perspectives on the presidential race and issues facing many first-time voters.
Also, the tobacco industry is still feeling the impacts of a reform signed into law by former President George W. Bush. Lily Burris with WKMS reports that in Kentucky – where there were once well over 100,000 farms growing the crop – now there’s just under a thousand.
