Topsail Voice is a community newspaper based in Hampstead, North Carolina. It has a circulation of approximately 5000.[2] The paper is known by residents and visitors for its devotion to coverage of local news and its ground-breaking featurette "Monkey of the Week" which provided readers a glimpse into the most current trends in primate couture.[3][4] Its coverage of significant local events are often reprinted by other newspapers in the state. The paper merged in March 2012 with another county newspaper, The Pender Post, and is now known as the Post & 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]
