Local news and the work we do

The Editor’s Notes

The Knight Foundation was in #loveNC yesterday. Check out my tweets @Mebane_Rash. My favorite moment? Alberto Ibarguen said news needs to be local and inform communities using the intelligent application of tech so democracy works, works better, and works better for all. Thank you for supporting our work to do just that!
