The Saturday Intelligencer “covers” the coronavirus
The front page
The front-page story with the biggest headline is a feature article (with two pictures) about how a West Virginia native is dealing with the virus in Japan. Reporter Jennifer Compston-Strough talked to Joe Hindman, a New Martinsville WV native, who has lived with his family in Japan for 16 years.

More on the whistleblower
Today’s Wheeling News-Register sort-of covers Trump and the whistleblower
This morning’s Wheeling New-Register carries most of an AP report on Trump’s outing of the whistleblower. Unfortunately, the last quarter of article was not included. Among that which is missing from this morning’s paper is the following:
