About The Line
The Line is a twice-weekly newsletter from The Assembly Network anchored by Cary resident and longtime journalist, Sarah Day Owen Wiskirchen.
In each edition, readers can expect a hyperlocal focus on Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs and Western Wake County.
The Line includes a mix of actionable local news, cultural coverage, things to do, small business openings, and stories shaping our communities. Community is a key ingredient for The Line, and each newsletter aims to be less of a megaphone and more of a conversation.
🗓️ Learn more at our event as we step into more frequent newsletters and more in fully-launched mode.
