About WALTER Magazine

WALTER the magazine was named after Sir Walter Raleigh the man, the intriguing individual that our the City of Oaks claims as its namesake. Sir Walter Raleigh was, among other things, a writer, poet and explorer—and we channel those qualities in our pages.

For ten years, WALTER has built a reputation as the premier arts and culture publication in Raleigh. 

Here at WALTER, we believe in stunning photography and elevated prose. We believe in celebrating the folks who make the Triangle an amazing place to live, work and play. In our magazine, website and social media, you’ll learn about our leaders and do-ers, artists and athletes, innovators and old-timers. You’ll get a glimpse into unique spaces and be inspired to explore our parks, museums, restaurants and stores. You may laugh when a local personality shares his insights, or cry when you witness your neighbors helping neighbors. Above all, WALTER wants to share all that’s good in our community.

WALTER is part of the magazine group at The Pilot, a North Carolina-based, family-owned company with 125 years and four generations of publishing roots here in Raleigh.
