The Assembly

The Assembly is a digital-first magazine publishing deep reporting on power and place in North Carolina. We launched in 2021 with a focus on interesting and nonpartisan journalism about our state. We tell big stories, and give our journalists space to be ambitious. Our reporting aims to be narrative, informative and revelatory. This year, we started building regional teams and partners to bring that same level of reporting to the city level.

Beat: Place and power in Greensboro

Position:

Greensboro is North Carolina's third-largest city and is diverse and growing. It touts an unusually high concentration of colleges and universities, including the nation's largest HBCU. It has a resurgent manufacturing industry, including multi-billion dollar mega sites. And it has a rich legacy of civil rights progress. This reporter focuses on questions of Greensboro's future and its evolving identity: What is the city's next chapter and who gets to decide?
