Lindsey Ward and Rachel Lucas talk about what this new era means for them, the significance of passing the baton from one Southwest Virginia native to another and their relationship as journalists and friends.
“Growing up in Alleghany County, I was blessed with a family that sat at the dinner table and ate together each night. We slowed down and connected. I want that very same evening experience for my little family.
With that said, Friday, March 4 is my last day.”

“When I was a little girl growing up in Giles County, I remember watching WSLS 10 with my family. I loved watching the news. I loved seeing places I recognized and people I knew here in our community on TV. It mattered.
I remember one time my dad pointed at one of the anchors and said to me, “That’s going to be you one day.” Little did I know then, he was right.”
