OutRaleigh Festival Makes Nationwide News

Not only did the local papers, The News & Observer and Independent Weekly find OutRaleigh worth writing about, but thanks to the Associated Press, papers across the state like the Jacksonville Daily News and the Blue Ridge Now Times-News ran stories mentioning the festival. The AP coverage has reached as far north as Boston and as far south as Louisiana.

Locally, The News & Observer even made mention of it in their report on the weather. N.C. State students posted photos on The Wolf Web, and news blogs like examiner.com and Honest NC.

Even before the festival began, LGBT media like the Washington Blade were reporting on the importance of the event.

Now keep you eyes open for the LGBT Center of Raleigh, organizer of OutRaleigh, to receive more news coverage Tuesday. The center is holding an election night watch celebration that NBC 17 has already requested to cover and Articulon is receiving call from out-of-town publications such as the Charlotte Post for call-in reaction interviews.
