Welcome to Carolinas.com, early edition! Seven of the McClatchy Company's 30 newspapers are in the Carolinas region and cover the state capitals, the largest city in the region, the mountains, and our gorgeous coastlines.

Because this is a beta website that initially lists events and stories from our affiliate newspapers, we'd like to hear from you. What would you like to see on a Carolinas-area site? Contact us at jsilverstein@carolinas.com to give your input or to request more information.
