The Wilkes Journal-Patriot is a newspaper based in North Wilkesboro, Wilkes County, North Carolina [1] and published weekly each Wednesday. [2] At one time it was published twice per week (Tuesday and Friday). The paper has a circulation of 11,000 paid subscribers. [3]
The Journal-Patriot traces its beginnings to the establishment of The Wilkes Patriot by Charles H. Cowles in 1906. [4] Cowles was a Republican politician and served as a U.S. Congressman from 1907 to 1911. [5] Under Cowles' guidance, the Patriot became one of the few Republican-leaning newspapers in North Carolina at the time. The Wilkes Journal was founded in 1917. A former typesetter for the Patriot, Julius C. Hubbard, became its editor. [4] Hubbard and Cowles eventually became partners after the two newspapers merged in 1932.
As of August 13, 2014, Jule Hubbard is the editor of the Journal-Patriot, succeeding Charles Williams [6] and was also one of the owners. [2] The publisher was Rebecca Hubbard, who was also one of the owners. [1] [7]
The Wilkes Journal-Patriot has sections covering news, sports, events, obituaries, and lifestyles, and it contains an opinion and classifieds section. [8]
