Background

Goldsboro Daily News is a digital news property of Curtis Media Group (CMG), the largest single-shareholder radio broadcasting company in North Carolina, founded in 1968 by Don Curtis and headquartered in Raleigh. CMG operates more than 60 AM and FM signals statewide, including a cluster of Goldsboro-area stations (WGBR-AM, WFMC-AM, and several FM outlets) at the same 2581 U.S. Highway 70 West address as the website. The site presents itself as Wayne County's free local news source and is funded through advertising rather than subscriptions. Curtis Media Group also operates the North Carolina News Network, which distributes news content to more than 80 radio affiliates across the state. The company's talk-radio programming has drawn some criticism for a mild conservative tilt, though founder Don Curtis has described his own views as slightly left on social issues and slightly right on fiscal ones. The Goldsboro Daily News website functions largely as a community news aggregator and local beat outlet, distinct in ownership, history, and format from the longstanding Goldsboro News-Argus print daily, which dates to 1885 and has been owned by Paxton Media Group since 2018. No specific launch date for goldsborodailynews.com is publicly documented.
