Island Free Press (Outer Banks)
U.S. local/community independent
Island Free Press is an independent, locally owned online newspaper serving Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands on North Carolina's Outer Banks, founded in 2007 by Donna Barnett and the late Irene Nolan. Its coverage centers on coastal community issues — erosion, national park management, local government, and environmental concerns — rather than partisan politics. It reports on the impacts of federal policies on its community, including Trump administration actions, but does not adopt a broad political editorial stance.
