Outlet track record
Asheville Watchdog
U.S. left-center
Asheville Watchdog is an independent nonprofit news outlet covering Asheville and western North Carolina, founded and staffed largely by veteran journalists who work for little or no pay. It is rated left-center by media analysts, a tilt the outlet's own editors have acknowledged likely reflects Asheville's progressive-leaning community. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has focused heavily on local impacts of federal cuts, immigration enforcement, and FEMA policy.
