About News and Observer
The News and Observer is owned by The McClatchy Co, which is headquartered in California. Regardless, the paper has deep roots in the North Carolina area. Not only do they publish the News and Observer, but they also publish ten twice-weekly regional newspapers as well. These papers cover the areas of Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, Southwest Wake Eastern Wake, Garner, Clayton, Smithfield, North Raleigh and Midtown Raleigh.
The paper won the Pulitzer Gold Medal for Public Service in 1995 for reporting on hog farming.
The paper has post-Civil War roots starting during reconstruction in 1865. Originally called The Sentinel. A rival paper purchased The Sentinel and continued writing under the banner of the Raleigh Observer. They went bankrupt as well, and the paper was sold to the Raleigh News. The News and Observer was first published in 1880. Josephus Daniels was the principal shaper of the paper. He used the paper to advocate policies he believed in such as women’s suffrage, workers’ compensation, and better roads.
