The Tabor-Loris Tribune (formerly The Tabor City Tribune) is a newspaper serving Tabor City, North Carolina and Loris, South Carolina in the southeastern United States.

The Tabor City Tribune was founded in 1946 by W. Horace Carter.[1] In 1953, days after the Ku Klux Klan launched a recruiting drive with a parade through Tabor City, Carter published "An Editorial: No Excuse for KKK," the first of more than 100 news stories about, and editorials opposing, the KKK.[1] He and his paper endured a number of threats, but found an ally in neighboring Whiteville, where editor Willard Cole republished many of the Tribune's stories in his Whiteville News Reporter. The reporting lead to an FBI investigation, resulting in 254 convictions of Klansmen, of which 62 were imprisoned or fined.[2] The two journalists were awarded the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.[3] The site claims to be "the first Pulitzer Prize winning weekly newspaper in the United States."[4] Carter later donated the Pulitzer to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where it remained on display as of 2009.[2]

The paper adopted the title Tabor-Loris Tribune in 2010.[5] It is currently owned by Atlantic Corp., which was also founded by Carter.[2] Other news outlets have cited the Tabor-Loris Tribune for its coverage of local issues and events.[6][7][8] The paper was part of a coalition of local and national news outlets that called on a judge to release search warrants sealed during a criminal investigation into voting irregularities in North Carolina's 9th congressional district.[9] The warrants were subsequently unsealed.[10] The Tribune's current circulation is estimated at 3,200.[11]
