The Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald is a newspaper founded in 1914 as the Ahoskie Patriot. It serves the rural North Carolina communities of Bertie, Hertford, Northampton and Gates counties, including the towns of Ahoskie, Murfreesboro and Windsor.[4] It is published on Wednesday and Saturday.[4]
The paper gets its name from the location of its primary region of distribution between the Roanoke River and Chowan River in Northeastern North Carolina, a location that includes Bertie, Hertford, and Northampton counties.
The inclusion of Gates County is the result of a merger with the Gates County Index.[citation needed]
Media General sold the paper to Boone Newspapers Inc. of Tuscaloosa, Ala in 2000.[5]
