The Charlotte Ledger
The Charlotte Ledger: a new approach to journalism in a growing city
No fluff, no pop-up ads, no time-wasting — just the smart and essential news and insights you need to understand the city, delivered by experienced local journalists whose writing has appeared in The Charlotte Observer, The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.
We were founded in 2019 on the belief that Charlotte needs higher-quality sources of information. We’re a locally owned small business run by a pair of former Charlotte Observer reporters who understand this city because we have lived here and have written about Charlotte for 20+ years.
Here’s how The Ledger works: We are primarily an e-newsletter that is also published to a website. About half of what we publish is free to all: our Monday and Saturday newsletters and the Transit Time newsletter on Thursdays. The other half are only for paying members: our full Wednesday and Friday newsletters and the Ways of Life newsletter on Tuesdays.
Sign up for our free version and check us out. You’ll get 2 full editions of The Ledger Business Newsletter a week, plus 2 partial versions, plus Transit Time — all delivered straight to your inbox. If you find us worth your time and want complete access to everything we produce, become a member. It’s that simple.
