Wilkes Journal-Patriot

The "Wilkes Journal-Patriot" is a newspaper based in North Wilkesboro, Wilkes County, North Carolina and published three times each week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). The paper claims a circulation of 15,000 paid subscribers.

According to its website, "The Journal-Patriot" traces its beginning to the establishment of "The Wilkes Patriot" by Charles H. Cowles in 1906. Cowles was a Republican politician and served as a U.S. Congressman from 1907 to 1911. 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. The two newspapers merged in 1932.
