Meet The Ledger's new managing editor, Ashley Fahey
Description
After nearly a decade covering Charlotte’s skyline and business growth — first at the Charlotte Business Journal and then on a national real estate beat — journalist Ashley Fahey is returning to her local roots. Now, as managing editor of The Charlotte Ledger, she’s helping steer the newsroom’s next chapter of growth and community reporting. Fahey officially joined the team in September 2025.
In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, host Steve Dunn talks with Fahey about her path back to Charlotte media, her vision for the Ledger and what she sees as opportunities to reach new readers and tell deeper stories about the city’s evolution.
We hope you enjoy the conversation with Ashley Fahey. For more information on The Charlotte Ledger, please visit TheCharlotteLedger.com.
