The Edenton Social Light was founded on “Good News,” and your tremendous response has helped us grow in print and online. As local media coverage has changed, many residents have asked us to expand our reporting on town government and issues affecting our community.

Our redesigned website—and our upcoming Edenton Everyday app—will help keep you informed and connected. The good news will remain, alongside fair, factual reporting on the decisions and public officials shaping Edenton’s future.

Our coverage of Councilman Aaron Coston reflects that commitment. It is a matter of public interest, and our responsibility is to report the facts, provide context and give those involved an opportunity to respond.

Councilman Coston initially spoke with the Social Light but did not respond to follow-up questions.
