COMMUNITY VOICES AND COMMENTARY STRENGTHEN N.C.
Beacon Media serves local news and community outlets that reach communities across North Carolina. We provide community media with high-quality commentary on issues that matter—to help you keep serving your communities in a rapidly-changing media economy.
Building Relationships
We build relationships with existing and emerging community leaders across the state who are working on the issues that will make North Carolina thrive.
Produce Commentary
We help emerging leaders produce commentary about their communities: what issues they’re facing, what lessons they’ve learned, and what they want the rest of North Carolina to know about them.
Syndicate & Distribute
We distribute their work for free to print and digital publications, nonprofit institutions, community thought leaders and through community radio in English and Spanish.
Who we are
North Carolina has the second largest rural population outside of Texas. We have people who have lived here for generations, and millions of people who have moved into our state in the past few years. We syndicate thought leaders and advocates who understand the complexity of our state and who care deeply about policies that will make North Carolina a better place to live for all North Carolinians.
