It's no wonder — and no secret  — that the Crystal Coast continues to be a growing area of the state. With all the area has to offer, the variety of media avenues reflects this. From print, to web to television, there's no shortage of coverage of the area. Although there is no daily newspaper printed in the county, the Carteret County News-Times, a local news tri-weekly, is published here, and a neighboring county daily, the Jacksonville Daily News, has a bureau in the county. A state daily, the Raleigh News and Observer, also circulates here, as do several local weekly papers.

Time Warner Cable, located in Newport, offers the full spectrum of cable channels as well as digital service and Road Runner cable modem service.
