Carolina Country
Carolina Country magazine is a monthly publication produced on behalf of North Carolina’s electric cooperatives, reaching more than 710,000 subscribers and 2.1 million readers.[1] Carolina Country’s circulation is currently audited by the Alliance for Audited Media.[2]
History
The publication was founded in 1946 as Carolina Farmer to assist the state’s electric cooperative utilities in communicating with members. Content served to educate co-op members on issues affecting the democratically controlled, not-for-profit utilities while also providing useful community and lifestyle information.
In 1969, the publication changed its name to Carolina Country to reflect its coverage of people and places across electric cooperatives’ predominately rural and suburban service territories.[3]
In 1996, carolinacountry.com was launched as a means for readers to access content online. Social media channels were also added, with the publication now having a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube.
