WUNC (North Carolina Public Radio)

WUNC is owned by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and operated by a university-affiliated nonprofit, making it one of the South's flagship public radio stations. It draws its editorial orientation from the NPR network and leans center-left in story selection and framing. Its recent coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been consistently critical, focusing on rollbacks in education, environmental policy, public integrity, and nuclear safety.
