🗞️ About News & Views
News & Views is The Hickory Hound’s weekly civic intelligence brief — a blend of reporting, analysis, and commentary that connects household realities to the region’s deeper economic and social currents. Each Sunday, it interprets the week’s local and regional developments through a systems-based lens, tracing how issues like housing, energy, health, and culture shape the daily life of working families across Hickory and Catawba County.
The series combines data, narrative, and reflection — balancing lived experience with civic accountability. Every edition includes an Opening Reflection, Feature Story, and My Own Time segment, documenting the forces that define life in Hickory, Catawba County, and the Foothills Corridor region.
