Coverage Profile

Virginia has 167 indexed sources - a strong local news footprint by ETTG's standards - producing an average of 404 articles per day. That said, 117 counties (84%) still lack a directly-indexed source - coverage is concentrated in certain areas even when the headline number looks healthy.

Virginia's community database holds 8 entries across groups, government offices, public resources, local spots, and events. This civic layer is separate from news - it exists regardless of source coverage, and it's queryable via the ETTG API.
