The Winston-Salem Chronicle has served as the voice of our community since 1974. For more than fifty years we have been committed to amplifying diverse voices and telling the stories that matter most to Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.
Who We Are
Founded to give voice to the African American community of Winston-Salem, The Chronicle has grown into a trusted source of independent, community-first journalism. We report on the issues, people, and events that shape everyday life across our region — from local government and education to faith, business, arts, and sports.
What We Believe
A strong, independent press is essential to a healthy community. Every neighborhood deserves accurate, fair, and fearless reporting. Journalism is a public trust — one we carry with pride and responsibility.
Our Commitment
- Community first. We center the people and stories of Winston-Salem in everything we publish.
- Independent and fearless. We report without fear or favor, holding power accountable and lifting up voices too often left unheard.
- Accurate and fair. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy, fairness, and integrity.
