New online news site for mountain folk

Hopefully this dude will abide:

Carolina Public Press is a nonprofit media project dedicated to in-depth, investigative and independent reporting on the overlooked and under-reported people, places and issues facing the 17 westernmost counties of North Carolina.

A sponsored project of the award-winning independent media organization, the Institute for Southern Studies, we’re a small, scrappy website dedicated to nonpartisan, balanced and fair reporting and photojournalism. We aim, every day, to offer high-quality news and information for and about Western North Carolina.

I like scrappy. Scrappy is good.
