Rocky Mount Telegram (Opinion)
U.S. center-left (local paper, syndicated op-eds)
The Rocky Mount Telegram is a small daily newspaper in eastern North Carolina owned by Adams Publishing Group, a family-owned chain that operates over a hundred local papers nationwide. Its opinion section mixes staff editorials on local/state issues with syndicated national columns; independent monitors rate it as leaning slightly left-of-center but highly factual. Its opinion coverage of the Trump administration is mixed, reflecting the range of syndicated columnists it runs rather than a consistent institutional stance.
Owned byAdams Publishing Group, a family-owned Minnesota-based newspaper chain led by CEO Mark Adams, which bought the Telegram in 2018 from Cooke Communications LLC
