Dwayne Yancey: Innovating regional news in Southside and Southwest VA

The Transition Team covers the contentious Gubernatorial debate and evaluates some policy differences between Terry McAuliffe and Glenn Youngkin. Then, they hear a voicemail about prison gerrymandering from Buckingham County Supervisor Thomas Miles. Miles wants to know why it's more fair for people in prison to be counted in their home localities than the localities in which they reside.

The Team also interviews Dwayne Yancey, who will launch Cardinal News on Sept. 27, a regional news nonprofit covering Southwest and Southside Virgina.
