Covering our democracy — including the problems that come along with it and the threats to its future — is part of every politics reporter’s job at The News & Observer (Raleigh, North Carolina).
But now there’s a reporter keeping democracy at the forefront of his beat every day.
Kyle Ingram is The N&O’s democracy reporter — a new role, but one that formalizes and deepens the work Ingram has already been doing as a state politics reporter.
Ingram, a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media, joined The N&O in 2023 after an internship and a stint as a freelance reporter for the newspaper.
