Forgotten Ohio
by Karen Fatula
I’m Karen Fatula, a journalist and podcaster focused on hyperlocal, nonpartisan news from Ohio Appalachia — the part of Ohio that too often gets left out of the conversation. Through Forgotten Ohio, I cover stories from outside the “Big C” metros — Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati — highlighting the voices, challenges, and resilience of smaller towns and rural communities. My goal is simple: to provide fair, factual, and balanced reporting that reflects real life in the Ohio Valley and Appalachian counties. Forgotten Ohio tells the stories other outlets overlook — with respect for every perspective and a commitment to truth over politics.
