Lorilyn Bailey started NewsBuzz Raleigh as a weekly online publication to encourage all residents of Raleigh to pay closer attention to the actions of their city leaders so that residents can make better-informed decisions at election time.

It is Bailey’s hope that NewsBuzz Raleigh, with its mix of fresh stories, links to news from other local media outlets, educational information, and other useful information, will encourage all residents to learn what’s going on in their city — and to speak up when local leaders are not working on the behalf of residents. And to vote!
