“Carolina public press's 2020 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 10.2 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 is wholly independent and nonpartisan. Our 2020 accomplishments include increasing free and reliable access to quality news. The organization published 446 news and investigative news reports on topics ranging from covid-19, access to health care, access to voting and the election, economic challenges in rural communities, the future of the state's national forests, conditions in jails and nursing homes, acess to public information and data, and more. Carolina public press also launched spanish-language and broadcast news programming. As a result, carolina public press produced nearly 100 radio and print translations of critical fact-based news in spanish. We established partnerships with radio outlets across the state, with a concentration in rural areas. In addition, we were a founding member of a statewide investigative news collaboration that worked to report on a variety of covid issues and how those issues impact people from the local to statewide level. As a result, carolina public press in 2020 expanded its reach, increased coverage and grew its newsroom to provide more public-interest, nonpartisan journalism to north carolinians. 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.”
