Kinston-based Magic Mile Media partners with Lexington digital news startup

With print papers across the nation moving toward regional and national consolidation, local news is harder to come by in smaller communities. “Magic Mile Media launched Neuse News in 2018 out of frustration with a lack of community backyard news the way it used to be told 60 years ago,” said BJ Murphy, owner of Magic Mile Media, Inc. and publisher of Neuse News. With the help of Magic Mile Media, Lexington-based DavidsonLocal.com launches on Monday, April 5, and already has over 250 daily subscribers. In less than two and a half years of publication, Neuse News has 5,000 daily subscribers. The all-digital local news model, based on the experiences of Neuse News, will feature current events, investigative pieces, and more local content for Davidson County, NC.
