StarNews is an American, English language daily newspaper for Wilmington, North Carolina, and its surrounding area (known as the Lower Cape Fear).

[4] The StarNews covers a three-county region in Southeastern North Carolina: New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender.

The paper was originally published on September 23, 1867, as the Wilmington Evening Star by former Confederate Major William H. Bernard.

[2] "[I]t was an ardent advocacy of white supremacy-a view never more strongly demonstrated than in its coverage of the Wilmington race riots of 1898.

[7][8] As a result of damage from Hurricane Florence in September 2018, the StarNews moved into a temporary location in the Harrelson Building, after operating from a Hampton Inn, WWAY, and even homes of staff.
