Triad City Beat is a free weekly alternative newspaper with distribution in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point in North Carolina.[1] It was founded in 2014 by Brian Clarey, Jordan Green and Eric Ginsburg, who were former editors and reporters for YES! Weekly.[2][3] The newspaper primarily covers topics local to the Triad such as news, politics, culture, opinion, music, and food. It describes itself as an independent voice to hold "economic and governmental powers accountable" across the Triad and North Carolina, and as a defender of democracy, as well as "LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice and an urban sensibility".[4] It has an estimated circulation of 10,000, and is published every Thursday.[5]
In 2023, the Triad City Beat hired a new "CityBeat" reporter specifically to expand its coverage of city council meetings in Greensboro and Winston-Salem. The newspaper releases the CityBeat content for free use by others under the Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivatives license.[6]
