We are calling  for the immediate resignations of West Virginia Public Broadcasting Programming Director and COO Eddie Isom and Butch Antolini, Executive Director, for preventing reporter Amelia Knisely from continuing to cover the state's Department of Health and Human Services following an article she wrote about a federal investigation into the abuse of persons with disabilities. (Here's a link to Knisely's article: https://www.wvpublic.org/health-science/2022-12-05/new-federal-investigation-targets-dhhrs-treatment-of-people-with-disabilities )

This action was taken after WVPB was pressured by the state cabinet secretary of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Services to retract the story. More details and a timeline of events can be found here:

The people of West Virginia deserve to know the truth.
