In 2018, Magic Mile Media CEO BJ Murphy started Neuse News, a hyper-local digital news platform serving Lenoir, Jones, and Greene Counties. Our company leveraged the infrastructure created by Magic Mile Media (social, web, newsletter, and more) to grow the news property’s audience. In less than two years, the daily newsletter grew to over 4,500 subscribers, and the website now attracts over 150,000 unique visitors each month.

In 2020, Magic Mile Media acquired NCPoliticalNews.com from Brunswick County businessman Frank Williams, expanding our reach into statewide political coverage.

In 2022, Neuse News Sports was launched to spotlight high school athletics in our coverage area. Since its inception, it has become a fan favorite, loved by athletes, students, parents, and coaches alike. Our commitment to covering all schools, all sports, and all athletes has made Neuse News Sports a trusted source for local sports news. Through game highlights, exclusive interviews, and in-depth coverage, we celebrate the hard work and dedication of student-athletes while keeping the community engaged with their favorite teams.

In the fall of 2024, Pirate Pulse was founded as a hobby by Chance Scott and Trey Scott to cover ECU athletics. In February 2025, they partnered with Magic Mile Media to turn it into a business. Since then, Pirate Pulse has undergone a transformation, including a new website, new logo, business plan, and revamped advertising structure to better serve Pirate Nation.
