The Wilkes Journal-Patriot is a newspaper based in North Wilkesboro, Wilkes County, North Carolina and published weekly each Wednesday. At one time it was published twice per week (Tuesday and Friday). The paper has a circulation of 11,000 paid subscribers. The Journal-Patriot traces its beginnings to the establishment of The Wilkes Patriot by Charles H. Cowles in 1906. Cowles was a Republican politician and served as a U.S. Congressman from 1907 to 1911. 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. Hubbard and Cowles eventually became partners after the two newspapers merged in 1932. More information...
