The Charlotte News should be…
Two weeks ago, Anna Cyr, our managing editor, and I sent a request to several Charlotte residents asking the question, “What sort of paper should The Charlotte News be?” We’re publishing the responses that we received.
Reporting that makes a difference
At The Charlotte News, we believe that the most important news stories leave a lasting impact and can also elevate local issues to a regional platform.
Wonderful news …… and new plans
As you’ve probably heard, we launched our fall fund drive in early November with a challenge:
What are writers’ and readers’ responsibilities when it comes to journalism?
Well, there has been some written debate recently about journalism’s role in digging out data, putting it in a context to help the reader interpret what the data means,
