The Assembly
U.S. center-left
The Assembly is a for-profit, employee-owned North Carolina digital magazine funded by a mix of angel investment, philanthropic grants, and reader subscriptions. It focuses on in-depth, investigative coverage of state politics, business, and culture with a left-leaning editorial bent. Its coverage of the Trump administration's policies, especially on immigration and federal cuts affecting North Carolina, tends to be scrutinizing and critical in tone.
