Shoresides

Shoresides was launched by local reporters and community members in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. When the storm devastated their region, it saw the urgent need for reliable local news to keep families safe, informed, and connected. Today, Shoresides serves as coastal North Carolina’s nonprofit hub for independent local news — producing stories, training new reporters, and bringing people together to ensure strong, accountable local information for all.
