The Assembly is a digital magazine bringing backroom conversations to North Carolina’s front page. We focus on enterprise stories, revelatory scoops, and authoritative looks at under-covered topics, people, and places. Our stories surprise, inform, and leave readers with a better understanding of the state.
We also lead The Assembly Network, which includes local teams around the state helping us shape the future of state-level journalism. The network also includes INDY in the Triangle, CityView in Fayetteville, Border Belt Independent in the Sandhills, and The Thread in Greensboro.
We offer a collaborative, innovative work environment where your ideas will be heard and valued. You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on a growing organization and on the communities we serve.
Together, we are redefining how North Carolinians connect with the places they live. Our mission is to deliver trusted local news, compelling storytelling, and uniquely voiced cultural recommendations that help readers understand and navigate what’s happening in their neighborhood, city, and state.
We aim to be a reflection of the state, with reporters from—and based in—diverse communities across North Carolina. We also aim to bring national talent to North Carolina that can help us improve the journalism ecosystem in a growing and important state.
We want a newsroom that reflects a diversity of talent and perspectives. We encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, people who were formerly incarcerated, veterans, and people with disabilities.
