Can anyone tell me the major newspaper for the Raleigh Metro area?

I know there are probably an assortment of local papers depending on the area, but what is the major for the Raleigh Metro area as a whole, or maybe its for all of NC?

If there is more than one major paper can you tell me them?

Do they have web links?

Thanks in advance!!!

The News & Observer. (newsobserver.com)
It's Raleigh-based, but over the years it has increasingly expanded coverage to be a Triangle-wide paper. And probably the best for state news too, seeing as their offices are walking distance from the capitol.

There really is only one for Raleigh, the N&O, however many of the different towns/cities (Wake Forest, Cary, Gardner etc etc) have small 'local' weekly papers that can have a wealth of information if you are moving outside Raleigh proper.

There is also the Herald-Sun, which is based out of Durham.... primarily covers Durham and Chapel Hill though. The N&O is a larger daily paper - I think it's second in the state in circulation, only the Charlotte Observer has more readers.

The N&O is good, but was better before McClatchey owned them.
And the N&O publishes and distributes several of the small town weeklies, which puts their independence in question.
