Carolina Journal (Opinion)

Carolina Journal is the media arm of the John Locke Foundation, a North Carolina conservative think tank co-founded and heavily funded by businessman Art Pope and his family foundation. It covers state policy from a free-market, limited-government perspective and self-describes as nonpartisan, a label disputed by critics who note its consistent alignment with Republican policy priorities. Its opinion section generally supports the Trump administration's positions on deregulation, border enforcement, and reduced government spending.
