November 11, 2026 - Founded in 2008 to replace Coal News newspaper, CoalZoom.com is coal’s foremost digital newsletter and is entering its 18^th year. CoalZoom is updated twice daily Monday-Friday, and once daily on weekends and holidays.

CoalZoom attracts more than 300,000 unique visitors annually and receives 6,000–8,000 visits each day, giving it a larger following than any other publication serving the coal industry.

Visitors can sign up free of charge to subscribe to receive the newsletter three times a week direct to their inboxes and stay on top of the very latest developments in coal news of the industries of the U.S., Canada and Mexico as well as the leading coal producers of the world.

Earlier this year, Bill Reid, managing editor of CoalZoom, was inducted into the West Virginia Coal Hall of Fame at a Ceremony in Charleston, WV presented jointly by the West Virginia Coal Association and the West Virginia Coal Mining Institute, thus showing clearly the respect CoalZoom has gained as the leading provider of important and timely coal news for the industry.
