New from EdNC
While online readership nationally is declining, EdNC is ahead of our target. Help us understand why
The Editor’s Notes
The 2026 State of Local News Report finds, “Over the past several years, readership of local news outlets, especially online readership, has dropped precipitously.”
That has not been the case for EdNC.
Thank you.
In an era where automation, AI, and bots are changing digital infrastructure, content, and readership as we know it, EdNC has stayed the course with our mission and theory of change, hitting our unique reader goals at the end of October — two months ahead of schedule.
If you would like to support our work, please take our annual survey.
Your feedback helps us even more than a donation because it informs our work and our leadership and how we continuously iterate our architecture of participation.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for trusting us with your stories.
