Meet publisher Josh Scott and the fictional newsroom characters behind West Virginia’s least reliable news source. Correspondent biographies and portraits are part of the satire.
Josh is the founder of The Holler Herald and the man behind Josh Scott Outdoors. He oversees the newsroom, approves questionable headlines and occasionally wanders into the woods to avoid explaining either one.
Darlene covers breaking news, suspicious wildlife and any rumor independently confirmed by at least three cousins.
Dale has spent 40 years in the woods and can estimate an animal’s weight with remarkable confidence and very little accuracy.
Earl forecasts with his knees, woolly worms, persimmon seeds and a radar map he occasionally remembers to check.
Gary reports on potholes, bridges and anything making a noise that probably should not be making that noise.
Tracking every touchdown, bad call and sudden swing between Mountaineer confidence and emotional self-defense.
Covering public meetings, ceremonial scissors and promises scheduled for completion shortly after the next election.
The Editorial Board meets behind the diner every Thursday to settle West Virginia’s most important arguments by simple majority and whoever talks loudest.
