100 Days in Appalachia
Diana Riojas's Company Details
The 2016 election revealed the deep social, economic and political fractures stressing communities —and American discourse — to the breaking point. While the nation's growing rural/urban divide attracts a global audience and a steady stream of analysis in the election's aftermath, in Appalachia we are no strangers to the issues at hand. We are these communities."100 Days in Appalachia" is an experimental project designed to burst the filter bubble of social news and to narrate the new American landscape from within the heart of a region dubbed "Trump Nation" 100 days at a time. We'll tell the political, economic and human stories of communities that are more complex than national narratives have allowed.This is a collaborative project from West Virginia University's Reed College of Media, West Virginia Public Broadcasting and The Daily Yonder.
