On January 1st, 2024, Acme Ventures LLC will officially pass ownership of Randolph News Now to the North State Journal. The new look of the site rolled out overnight is one of the final steps and was taken to help Randolph News Now better reflect its new home. It's been a truly rewarding journey since late 2020 when we set out to build a brand-new local news site from the ground up. After 1,000 articles and more than two million page views, we are immensely proud of what we built. With the resources and expertise of the North State Journal now behind the site we are excited to see where it will go next. To our readers, our supporters, and everyone who shared in this incredible journey, thank you.

Spectrum said late Wednesday night that the photojournalist was undergoing surgery but was 'responsive.' Spectrum has not yet named the journalists.
