After another numerous delay and a lawsuit, it appears the BOG deliberately misled the public on the role of the five BOG members and their role in the Silent Sam settlements.
DTH Media Corp., parent company of The Daily Tar Heel, settled its lawsuit against the UNC System over allegations of violating state Open Meetings Law that occurred in 2019.
Editor-in-Chief Anna Pogarcic explains why The Daily Tar Heel is reducing its print production starting in spring 2021 and how the newsroom still plans to serve the UNC community.
"Contrary to what you may be thinking as you read this, I am not writing this Office DJ to add more stress to your plate. Rather, I'm trying to remind you to focus on any little bright spots that can bring you joy. That's what I've been doing, and honestly, it's all any of us can do."
"We have done so many things wrong," writes The Daily Tar Heel's Editor-in-Chief Anna Pogarcic. "As a predominantly white newsroom, we have failed to recruit and retain staffers of color. We do not look like the communities we serve, both on UNC’s campus and in the town of Chapel Hill, and as a result, we lack their trust. This is completely justified."
"We need to do better, and as a student newspaper that claims to train the next generation of journalists, that change has to start with us. So, we’re changing our social media and conflict of interest policies to remove barriers that prevented our staffers from expressing themselves, as a recognition that our identities can enrich our reporting."
Gov. Roy Cooper announced today that North Carolina's stay-at-home order will be extended through May 8. The announcement comes at a time when neighboring states such as Georgia are beginning to reopen businesses.
