Keaton and Chickerell of Morgantown, W.Va., joined the WVU P.I. Reed School of Journalism’s IMC online program in 2008 as strangers. But over time they’ve become close friends.
When Keaton enrolled in IMC 610, an introductory course, she was curious about her classmates. She looked at many of their profiles and photos on the IMC website. Keaton quickly discovered that Chickerell lived close by and noticed that they had children around the same age. About a month after their inaugural class began, Keaton went to her son’s fifth-grade class Valentine’s Day party. She sat at her son’s table and talked to him and a girl sitting beside him. Keaton thought the girl’s mother looked like a photo of one of her IMC classmates.

“No.9” takes an in-depth look at why 78 men died in an explosion at Consolidation Coal Company’s No. 9 Mine in Farmington, W.Va.; who is responsible; and how the legal struggles of the miners’ widows to gain justice transformed coal mine safety legislation.
Former Executive Editor for USA Today Bob Dubill said, “Riveting. Chilling. Revealing. The story of Farmington Mine No. 9 belongs on everybody’s book shelf. Seventy-eight miners died during a disaster that rocked West Virginia’s coal fields 43 years ago—propelling front page headlines across the USA and a trail of safety concerns across the globe.
