I made a list of more than a dozen NC-based Substacks, believing that "sense of place" matters in politics and literature, and helps shape us, though that is easy to forget in the Internet age. https://jimbuie.substack.com/p/substack-goes-local-or-at-least-statewide

Maybe you can help me by adding others.

I left the Charlotte Observer (same parent as N&O) for similar reasons. But my fiancee takes the Winston-Salem Journal (owned by a different conglomerate) and I have been very favorably impressed with what the Winston-Salem Journal is doing these days: more emphasis on deserving local news on the front page, but then good national coverage and op-ed on the inside. I'm hoping that this means that the Winston-Salem Journal lasts for a while.
