A local student will be attending a prestigious conference

Tristin Cunniff will be attending the Washington Journalism Media Conference at George Mason University. Cunniff is the co-editor of the Letcher County Central student news paper. While Cunniff received a scholarship, he also raised funds to go on the trip. IN an interview with WYMT he said that he could not have achieved any of this without the support of “wonderful folks” around him. He said that kind of support is what makes Appalachia the greatest place in the world.
