Outlet track record
North State Journal
U.S. right / center-right (North Carolina)
North State Journal is a privately owned Raleigh-based statewide news outlet run by North State Media, LLC. It is widely viewed as conservative-leaning, and its opinion pages and some staff have ties to the state's Republican and conservative circles. Its recent coverage of the second Trump administration mostly reports policy actions in education, agriculture and the federal workforce, and tends toward a favorable framing. This stance comes from a limited sample of its recent coverage.
Owned byNorth State Media, LLC, a privately held company founded by publisher Neal Robbins. Its sister business, the North State Journal group, bought a Charlotte printing facility in 2023. I could not find a public list of its investors.
