Launched at 11 a.m. on March 4, 2011 – the moment <a href="https://carolinapublicpress.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the website</a> went live – CPP became the only independent nonprofit digital media organization that served 17 counties of Western North Carolina that was passionately, obstinately, whole heartedly devoted to investigative reporting and public service journalism. </p> <div class="wp-block-group alignwide half-float"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="perfmatters-lazy-youtube" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o_0SrUWciCg" data-id="o_0SrUWciCg" data-query="feature=oembed" onclick="perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);"><div><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o_0SrUWciCg/hqdefault.jpg" alt="YouTube video" width="480" height="360" data-pin-nopin="true" nopin="nopin"><div class="play"></div></div></div><noscript><iframe title="Carolina Public Press: We're just getting started" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o_0SrUWciCg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> </div></div> <p>Seven years later, in 2018, we expanded our coverage from western North Carolina to cover the entire state. But our purpose didn’t change. From day one, it’s been our mission to dismantle barriers and shine a light on the critical, overlooked and under-reported issues facing our state. We believe strongly that investigative, in-depth, independent journalism is at the heart of an informed public. </p> <div class="wp-block-group alignright half-wide"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="perfmatters-lazy-youtube" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o_0SrUWciCg" data-id="o_0SrUWciCg" data-query="feature=oembed" onclick="perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);"><div><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o_0SrUWciCg/hqdefault.jpg" alt="YouTube video" width="480" height="360" data-pin-nopin="true" nopin="nopin"><div class="play"></div></div></div><noscript><iframe title="Carolina Public Press: We're just getting started" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o_0SrUWciCg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> </div></div> <p>2021 is a time to celebrate our accomplishments, but to also look toward our future. In the next 10 years, we are all about our impact, reach and sustainability. We’re so grateful for the dozens of foundations and investors; hundreds of members, sponsors, news partners and collaborators; million+ readers and listeners; and our dedicated team of staff, freelancers, contractors and board of directors who have made it possible for us to spend the last decade serving the state we call home.</p> <p>In 10 years, we’ve spent time not only <em>doing news</em>, but also building and exploring the many ways to get public service journalism into the eyes, ears, hearts and minds of North Carolinians—especially those who don’t have reliable and free access to critical news and information and those who are most directly affected by state policies and official actions. Our key strategies include listening and research, with an emphasis on transparency. One of our hallmarks is community dialogue—dialogue that often takes the form of listening sessions and live and virtual events—to drive story development and to ensure our reporting matters, has impact and reaches across the state.</p> <p>Whether we are investigating the long-term care industry, local and statewide government malfeasance, or North Carolina’s elections system—or any number of important issues—we’re devoted to producing critical and impactful independent, investigative and public interest journalism … because we believe EVERY North Carolinian deserves it, and <strong><em>we are just getting started</em></strong>!</p> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-group alignfull has-primary-variation-color has-secondary-background-color has-text-color has-background"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="why-become-a-member">Why become a member?</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p>More than ever, North Carolina needs high-quality investigative and public service journalism, and that is our mission at Carolina Public Press.
