Abstract:

Katherine Fulton is the editor of the Durham-based Independent, an alternative press. While many of these newspapers which emerged from the 1960s rebellion against the establishment have become more interested in making many than in making waves, the Independent has not. What sets it apart is that \"it has a spine of steel, solid investigative pieces, witty, incisive coverage of politics and state government, and relishes pointing out when the emperor isn't wearing any clothes.\"

Abstract:

Durham’s two newspapers have merged into the Herald-Sun to provide the city with a higher quality and more relevant newspaper. The priority is local news and to watch the money local officials spend. Editors say the merger will free up reporters to produce in-depth and investigative journalism, but reporters disagree. The paper has issued a two story per day quota to reporters which is contributing to low employee morale and might prompt reporters to pick easy stories to report on versus more challenging ones.
