The Assembly is planting a flag in Wilmington with The Dive.

Reporter Johanna F. Still, a Wilmington native, is anchoring the effort. Together with local NPR affiliate WHQR, we’ll be co-reporting big stories and collaborating on a free weekly newsletter that brings it all together.

The Dive delivers compelling, original reporting on topics that matter in Wilmington and across the Cape Fear region each week. We also publish deeply reported features on issues that impact the region and the state.
