Where to Find Local News and Sports on The Dominion Post (dominionpost.com)

Updated

The Dominion Post is the local newspaper for Morgantown, West Virginia, and its homepage organizes content into clearly labeled sections: Local News, WVU Sports, High School Sports, Obituaries, and E-Editions. To find a specific story, start with the section label that matches your topic — local reporting sits under Local News, college athletics under WVU Sports, prep athletics under High School Sports, death notices under Obituaries, and the digital print edition under E-Editions. A TRENDING block near the top surfaces the most-read stories of the moment.

Main sections and what each covers

Section What you'll find How to reach it
Local News Morgantown and Monongalia County reporting — campus events, EMS and levy debates, remediation work, local media industry news "Local News" heading and the "MORE Local News" link
WVU Sports West Virginia University football, men's basketball, recruiting and player deals "WVU Sports" heading
High School Sports Prep soccer, football and playoff results from area schools "High School Sports" heading

E-Editions Digital replicas of the printed paper, including special guides "E-Editions" heading or the "View today's edition" link

Local News

The Local News feed mixes hard news and community features. Recent examples include the WVU Homecoming royalty announcement, a Clinton Burley op-ed on renewing EMS levy support, remediation at the White Hall coal seam fire and mine subsidence site, and a piece on former Welch News employees reflecting on the loss of local news. A "MORE Local News" link at the bottom of the block opens the full feed.

WVU Sports

This section tracks Mountaineer athletics in depth — for instance, quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. leading WVU football to a game-winning field goal against Cincinnati for the team's first Big 12 win, efforts to sign more players to multi-year deals, and adjustments to get more receivers involved in the offense. Men's basketball practice coverage also appears here.

High School Sports

Prep coverage includes playoff action such as Trinity Christian's 4-1 soccer win over Petersburg in the Region II opener, Morgantown's rout of Parkersburg South, Preston's loss at Bridgeport, and C-B's 6-0 win over Tygarts Valley.

Obituaries

Obituaries are listed individually with names and short notices — for example, Charlene J. Weber, Linda Heater Donhiser, Austin Ray Turner, and Peter D. Dinardi, Sr. Each entry links to fuller arrangement details.

E-Editions and today's edition

The E-Editions area provides page-by-page digital versions of the print paper, including themed guides such as the Midterms Voter's Guide 2026 and GoXplor. The "View today's edition" link is the fastest route to the current issue.

Tips for navigating the site

  • Use TRENDING first if you want to see what other readers are following; it rotates and links directly to the day's most-read items.
  • Section headings double as navigation — clicking "WVU Sports" or "High School Sports" takes you to the full section rather than a single story.
  • Check E-Editions for special publications like voter guides, which may not appear as standalone articles on the homepage.
  • Subscription note: the site references "subscribe," but the homepage does not state pricing or whether all content is metered, so check the subscription page directly before assuming free access to every article.

For most readers, the homepage itself is the answer: pick the section label matching your interest, or scan TRENDING for the current top stories.
