Chapel Fowler

Thanks for checking out my work. My name is Chapel Fowler, and I'm a 2020 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate currently covering high school and local sports with a dash of news for The Chatham News + Record, a weekly community paper just outside North Carolina's Triangle area.

I've been hooked on sports journalism since the fall of 2016, when I wrote my first ever story for the Daily Tar Heel, UNC's independent student newspaper, on a volleyball match.

Since then, I've worked as a senior writer and sports editor for the DTH, covering virtually every sport on campus; interned at The Charlotte Observer and Virginian-Pilot/Daily Press in Hampton Roads, Virginia; and freelanced consistently for a variety of local and and national outlets.

In my current role at the News + Record, I cover five high schools and anyone or anything else relevant to the sports audience in Chatham County, a short drive from Raleigh, Durham or Chapel Hill. I also chip in on general news coverage, copy editing, production, social media and our weekly newsletter.

In the clips below, I hope you can get a sense of my writing style. I've picked out a variety of stories, including deadline gamers, in-depth profiles and enterprise stories, from the various publications I've worked for over the last four years.
