The NC Beat
U.S. independent, community-focused
The NC Beat is a small, independently owned digital news outlet founded in 2016 by Gerald Jackson Jr. in North Carolina. It covers local crime, courts, church controversies, and community news, with a readership drawn largely from Black North Carolina communities. Its coverage of the Trump administration has been mixed — reporting factually on some policies while framing others in terms that imply criticism, without adopting a consistent editorial line for or against the administration.
