Carolina Public Press

Carolina Public Press's 2023 goals were to provide nonpartisan, in-depth and investigative news built upon the facts and context north carolinians need to know. Our award-winning, breakthrough public-interest journalism dismantles barriers and shines a light on the critical overlooked and under-reported issues facing our state's 10.7 million residents. Our overall goals were to provide high-quality, context-rich and fact-based news for free to audiences, to provide journalism for and about overlooked and under-served communities and issues, and to engage communities about some of the most pressing issues facing the state. Carolina Public Press also remains wholly independent and nonpartisan. Our 2023 accomplishments include increasing free and reliable access to quality news. The organization published news and investigative news reports on topics ranging from government accountability and transparency, access to voting and elections, economic challenges in rural communities, the future of the state's national forests, staffing shortages in n.c. Nursing homes, loss of protection for isolated n.c. wetlands, wildfires in western n.c., migrant workers facing a challenging n.c. system, access to Public information and data, and more. Carolina Public Press began as one part of the solution to reversing the reduction of investigative and Public service journalism. Our readers, listeners, and members have helped that vision become a reality.
