The Pender-Topsail Post & Voice is an American, English language community newspaper based in Hampstead, North Carolina. It has a circulation of approximately 5000.[2] The paper merged in March 2012 with another county newspaper, the Pender Post, and is now known as the Pender Topsail Post & Voice.[3][4] In March 2012, Topsail Voice and The Pender Post were merged to form the Pender-Topsail Voice. The paper provides coverage of local news but most residents rely on the Raleigh-based News & Observer or The Star-News of Wilmington for national and international news.[5]
