North Carolina Capitol Press Corps

The N.C. Capitol Press Corps is an informal organization for affiliated reporters and photographers covering state government in Raleigh. Its primary functions are to issue credentials and working space to journalists working in the N.C. Legislative Building, but it is also a group whose members share strong social and professional bonds. We are here to help fellow journalists get the basic access and space they need to cover the state legislature. Please contact Joe Johnson, NCCPC president, at (919) 781-5370 or by email here if you have questions or comments.

All of the building, except the House and Senate chamber floors, is open to the public.
