Press & Media

Our staff regularly receive media inquiries from local and national news outlets working on pieces about the changing economic and political landscape.

Our aim is always to build relationships, helping journalists understand why the history of Appalachia matters in the current economic shift and that there are more stories to tell than those of despair. For media inquiries, contact Ivy Brashear at ivy@mtassociation.org.
