Kenneth Fine, Editor
Kenneth Fine is an award-winning journalist who resides in Eastern North Carolina. His early work at the Goldsboro-News-Argus covering the military saw him travel to New York on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and Afghanistan in 2009 to cover the Global War on Terror. More recently, as the Raleigh Bureau Chief and News Editor of INDY Week, he co-authored an investigative series that earned national acclaim and was republished in The Guardian and Saveur Magazine.
Fine has received more than a dozen honors from the North Carolina Press Association since he began his journalism career in Goldsboro in 2005, but his most prestigious awards were earned during his time at the INDY, including the 2018 Phil D.

In addition to his role as editor of NewOldNorth.com, Fine currently serves as a secondary school English and Journalism teacher.
