I count 23 stories on the strike in the Washington Post web site, of which nearly all are associated press wirestories (feb 22 to today). I also see 47 stories about Hope Hicks resigning in the same timeframe, of which nearly all are written by WaPost reporters,

I guess all I can do is urge you to google better? WaPo Staff reporter Sarah Larimer alone has six bylines about it. Here's a sampling of hers and others https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/03/02/how-striking-west-virginia-teachers-salaries-compare-to-teachers-in-other-states/?utm_term=.88b9b0874225 … https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/school-closures-continue-as-west-virginia-teacher-strike-stretches-on/2018/03/01/d34aeeca-1d71-11e8-9de1-147dd2df3829_story.html … https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/02/27/why-i-am-on-strike-in-west-virginia/ … https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/education/wp/2018/02/28/west-virginia-teachers-traded-classrooms-for-picket-lines-heres-how-that-impacted-parents/ … https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/education/wp/2018/02/26/theyre-doing-what-they-think-they-need-to-do-west-virginia-teachers-continue-strike/ …

I really do think volume of stories isn't a great indicator of the breadth of coverage. I'm mobile and can't dig too much, but I suspect a lot of those Hicks links are videos, or stories about general WH chaos in which she is mentioned.

Well to be fair I used the Washington Post’s search engine. And they still covered Hope Hicks resignation more than the strike. https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=Strike%20teachers%20West%20Virginia&sort=Relevance&datefilter=60%20Days …
