Shoresides is a community-based organization. We tell stories about and listen to the voices of the people of coastal North Carolina. We’re a trusted and responsive source of information for our region.
Shoresides was launched by journalists in coastal North Carolina as a project of the nonprofit Narrative Arts. The devastation of Hurricane Florence exposed a need for local journalism in rural coastal North Carolina. Shoresides acts as the region’s nonprofit civic journalism lab and produces stories, trains civic journalists, and brings communities together to build a healthy media ecology for the region. Read more about our approach on our Newsroom Policies, Transparency and Ethics page.
