About Us

We are an alternative media company delivered through the print and digital mediums. Queen City Nerve provides a voice for news, culture, arts and music in the Charlotte, N.C. area. We provide local content on a daily basis on our website, www.qcnerve.com, and bi-weekly in print at over 500 locations throughout Uptown Charlotte and the surrounding neighborhoods.
 
Born from the former staff of Creative Loafing Charlotte, which was abruptly shut down on Halloween 2018, Queen City Nerve exists to support our communities through investigative and opinionated journalism on topics including news, arts, food, music, entertainment and events. We are here to prove that print is alive and well in local communities around the country, as well as necessary for expression with an in-your-face and to-the-point aesthetic.
 
Queen City Nerve is owned and operated by Nerve Media Productions LLC based out of Advent Coworking in the Belmont neighborhood of Charlotte.
