Listen · AI narration
When a story shows up in exactly one place, it's either too small to matter or too local to travel. Often it's the latter — and that's our beat.

Deep dive: "Spotsylvania Planning Commission recommends approval of 555-acre data center campus" — only one source covering this
Why one source is worth a second look
When only one outlet covers a story, two things tend to be true at once: it's local enough to slip past the regional press, and someone cared enough to write it anyway. Both are reasons to pay attention.
