Rooted in Place. Built on Water.

Core Sound Media is a publishing and production company based in Carteret County, North Carolina—the heart of the Southern Outer Banks.

We tell stories that rise from this place: the barrier islands, the sounds, the people who have lived here for generations. Literary fiction. Documentary film. Authentic voices from authentic waters.

This is not content created from a distance. This is testimony from home.
