Today I found out I was one of eight Charlotte Observer reporters who will be laid off. In two weeks we - and many, many more at other McClatchy papers - will all be jobless. I don’t really know what else to say other than I hope people with job leads will help us out.

Early voters are allowed to vote at any precinct in their county in North Carolina. Property ownership is also not required to vote in the United States. Additionally, everyone, including students, have the constitutional right to protest in the United States.

No, Julie, this is a bunch of privileged, entitled, out of town students trying to shape local government in North Carolina. Student who aren’t residents and don’t own property, don’t get to decide where the voting locations are in North Carolina. They maybe able to do that in Philly, but we aren’t Philly.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Abdul’s answer on health care is always the same: abolish private insurance and put Washington in charge of your doctor. Michigan families don’t want the DMV running their care.

There might be slow days, but local journalism overall is only boring if you don’t care about your community. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Long live local news!

“I was asked the other day if local journalism was boring, and I was like, ‘It may be boring, but it’s necessary.’” cjr.org/business_of_news/im-…

“I’m 25 and just bought my local paper.”

A former intern bought Georgia’s Monticello News. Weeks later, he grew subscriptions by 30 percent.
