Outlet track record
NC Governor's Office / NC Commerce
U.S. state government communications (currently Democratic governor)
These are official communications arms of North Carolina's state government, not independent news outlets — the Governor's Office press releases reflect Governor Josh Stein's (D) priorities, and NC Commerce promotes the state's economic development agenda. Since Stein is a Democrat, their public messaging on federal policy has frequently pushed back on Trump administration actions affecting the state (tariffs, disaster aid, funding cuts), while coverage of in-state programs is self-promotional.
Owned byState of North Carolina; the Governor's Office is part of the executive branch, and the NC Department of Commerce is a cabinet agency led by a Secretary appointed by the Governor
