History
The Journal-Patriot traces its beginnings to the establishment of The Wilkes Patriot by Charles H. Cowles in 1906.[4] Cowles was a Republican politician and served as a U.S. Congressman from 1907 to 1911.[5] 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. A former typesetter for the Patriot, Julius C. Hubbard, became its editor.[4] Hubbard and Cowles eventually became partners after the two newspapers merged in 1932.
As of August 13, 2014, Jule Hubbard is the editor of the Journal-Patriot, succeeding Charles Williams[6] and was also one of the owners.[2] The publisher was Rebecca Hubbard, who was also one of the owners.[1][7]
The Wilkes Journal-Patriot has sections covering news, sports, events, obituaries, and lifestyles, and it contains an opinion and classifieds section.[8]
The Journal-Patriot remained a family-owned newspaper[4] until its sale to Paxton Media Group effective September 1, 2020. Dale Morefield of The Enquirer-Journal became publisher.[2]
