Outlet track record
NC Office of the State Auditor
U.S. government watchdog (state constitutional office, currently Republican-led)
The office is a taxpayer-funded state audit agency, not a news outlet. Its reports on state agencies, universities, local governments and projects are fact-finding documents, not editorial coverage. It is led by an elected Republican, but it does not publish regular commentary on the Trump administration, so its stance toward the administration is mostly neutral.
Owned byNot privately owned. It is a state agency and an independent constitutional office of North Carolina. Its head, the State Auditor, is elected statewide to a four-year term. Dave Boliek, a Republican, has held the post since January 1, 2025.
