Our Mission
The mission of West Virginia Sports Nation is to bring citizens of Morgantown, the state of West Virginia, and West Virginia University fans quality and informative sports journalism rooted in Morgantown. We believe that fans shouldn’t have to rely on sports media conglomerates with no connection to Morgantown and the state of West Virginia for their news, analysis, and commentary about their community. This is why West Virginia Sports Nation is rooted in the community, from our writers to our advertisers to our mission.
Why We Do This
Let’s talk about our reputation. We have a reputation of paying our writers above market, because we believe in producing quality journalism while supporting those of us who are committed to the sustained success of Morgantown. We have a reputation for partnering with local business leaders in the Morgantown community because we want to build our business from the ground up with a coalition of community partners. We have a reputation for resisting the growing conglomeration of sports websites as a few billionaire companies monopolize the industry. We have no interest in the corporatization of sports media, because our sole focus is the health and vitality of the Morgantown community. In short: we aren’t in this to sell our website to billionaires. We are by Morgantown, for Morgantown. Stay rooted in your fandom with West Virginia Sports Nation.
