The primary statewide publication is the Charleston Gazette-Mail, formed by the merger of the historically liberal Charleston Gazette and the conservative Charleston Daily Mail. Further north, the family-owned Dominion Post serves Morgantown with a conservative editorial stance, while Wheeling-headquartered Ogden Newspapers publishes the oldest continuously operating daily, The Intelligencer.
