EnglishHow to Sign Up for The Outer Banks Voice Newsletter and Breaking News Alerts
Updated
The Outer Banks Voice offers a daily newsletter sign-up on its homepage, and the same form includes a "Breaking News Alerts" list you can opt into. To complete it, you provide your first name, last name, and email address. The site states it will never share your email address with anyone. The form appears in a "SIGN UP TODAY!" block with the prompt "Get News as it Breaks!"
What the sign-up form asks for
Based on the form shown on the site, you fill in four fields:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| First Name | Your given name |
| Last Name | Your family name |
| The address where you want the newsletter delivered | |
| Lists | The subscription option, including "Breaking News Alerts" |
The site's stated privacy commitment is: "We'll never share your e-mail address with anyone."
Steps to subscribe
- Go to outerbanksvoice.com.
- Find the "SIGN UP TODAY!" section with the heading "For our Daily Newsletter" and the line "Get News as it Breaks!"
- Enter your first name, last name, and email address.
- Select the "Breaking News Alerts" list if you want time-sensitive updates in addition to the daily newsletter.
- Submit the form.
Expected result: you are added to the daily newsletter, and to breaking news alerts if you selected that list.
What you are signing up for
The Outer Banks Voice describes itself as covering the latest news for Dare County on the Outer Banks, including Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, Duck, Southern Shores, and Kitty Hawk. Its homepage navigation reflects that scope: Community, Elections, Traffic, Obits, Sports, Newsletter, Events, Business, Best of the Beach, Wellness, Help Wanted, Real Estate, Recipes, and Pet Tributes.
A daily newsletter fits that mix — it can surface weather and storm updates, obituaries, event changes, and local government news in one place. A concrete example from the site's own coverage: a Flood Watch post noting that the latest Hurricane Isaias impact update was released at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10 by the National Weather Service at Newport/Morehead City. That is the kind of time-sensitive item a breaking news alert is meant to deliver.
Things to check before and after signing up
- Confirm the list selection. The form's "Lists" field is where breaking news alerts are chosen. If you only want the daily digest, leave that option unselected.
- Check your spam or promotions folder if the first newsletter does not arrive, since automated sends are often filtered.
- Use an address you actually monitor. The site's value here is timeliness — a weather or traffic alert is only useful if you see it.
- The site does not publish pricing or login requirements for the newsletter in the material available. Treat the sign-up as a form submission, not an account creation, unless the site tells you otherwise at the point of sign-up.
If you would rather not subscribe
You can still read the same coverage directly on the homepage. The site also links out to other local sources, including Coastal Review Online, Currituck County, Dare County, Duck, Island Free Press, Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, N.E.S.T. (Network for Endangered Sea Turtles), Nags Head, OBX Marine Stranding Network, OBX Surf Info, Ocracoke Observer, and Southern Shores. It also lists radio stations under "Listen Live": Dixie 105.7, Pirate 95.3, Killer Hits 102.5, 96.7 The Coast, 104.9 The Block, 98.1 The Score.
