Ratliff covers a bit of everything as the only news reporter on staff, but has a specific interest in politics, education, development, and community issues. If you’d like to hear her talk local news, she appears on WINA’s Cville Right Now Live with Adam Hawes every other Wednesday to discuss the new issue of the paper and the latest goings-on in Charlottesville.
