Jan 7, 2021 The Ohio Valley and the state of West Virginia lost a true community leader Wednesday with the unexpected passing of J. Michael Myer, executive editor of The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register. He was 69. Myer’s career spanned from the mid-1970s through 2020. He was inspired to pursue a reporting career following the Watergate hearings, and often would say it only took seeing his first byline in print to become truly hooked on the business. Myer was a newsman, one who prided himself not only on reporting the news, but also in making sense of it. He was honest and fair, passionate in his work and respectful of and loyal to those he worked with.
