Welcome to the Winston-Salem Source!
We are pleased to launch a digital news outlet that serves the residents of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, with a strong focus on community journalism and local storytelling. Our tagline (Real. Local. News.) sums up our mission.
REAL. We are committed to providing real news to our audience. Readers can expect stories about local government, our school system, local businesses, events, special interest stories, our faith community, health and wellness, and stories that celebrate the people who are making a difference in our city. The news you find here will be about real people by real people.
LOCAL. Born out of passion and necessity, The Winston-Salem Source is here to fill the growing information gap in our community. We are bringing back local news by employing the talents of local reporters. It’s simple: local news is best when the contributors are connected to the community they serve.
We are living in times when hyper-focused community news is more important than ever. We believe that knowing what is happening in our local government, schools, neighborhoods and churches helps people make better-informed decisions for their families.
NEWS. With over 50 years of combined experience, the staff at The Winston-Salem Source is dedicated to the core values of journalism. Reporting independent, objective and trustworthy stories and information is our top goal. We believe controlled narratives and one-sided points of view create challenges for readers and stakeholders.
The best local news is birthed from a trusted partnership between the media outlet and the community. The Winston-Salem Source invites residents, business owners, community leaders, nonprofits and faith communities to share story ideas, event announcements and issues affecting our city. We’d love to hear about the news that matters to you.
In doing so, we’ll strive to:
- Provide factual and trustworthy reporting
- Highlight different perspectives
- Promote engagement
- Celebrate local successes
- Serve as a platform where community voices are heard
We are more than a news site; we aim to be The Source of local news for our community.
Thank you for taking this journey with us. We look forward to having meaningful conversations and building relationships with you!
Everyone deserves a trusted source!
