Abstract:
In January, 2005, the sale of the 50,000-circulation Durham daily, The Herald-Sun, to the Paxton Media Group of Paducah, KY was completed. Paxton owns twenty-eight other newspapers around the nation with an average circulation of 30,000. On the day the sale was completed, Paxton Media fired and escorted to the parking lot members of the Herlad-Sun's staff, starting with the paper's publisher and president. Approximately eighty positions were eliminated. Gray discusses the takeover; the emphasis given to the firings and takeover by the Raleigh News and Observer and Durham's Independent Weekly and whether the emphasis was justified or not; and what the new ownership will mean to the Durham Herlad-Sun and its readers.

Abstract:
The Durham News’ resident whitesplainer, Bob Wilson, finally called it quits. Wilson had reasonable moments during his tenure, but when he addressed race relations, he served as a reminder of systems and stereotypes that are best left behind. In response to Black Lives Matter protestors, he argued that African-Americans simply needed to stop shooting one another.

11.Hark, the Herald Merger Zings by Yeoman, Barry Independent Weekly Vol. 9 Issue 3, Jan. 16-22 1991
Record #:

Author(s):
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.

Abstract:
Reporting on the most censored and underreported news stories of the year, The Independent believes the change of the area’s newspapers is that story. The News & Observer of Raleigh and The Durham Morning Herald of Durham have each undergone changes which readers may be unaware of. The N&O is under new leadership and has amassed a significant debt in its attempt to remain independently-owned. The Herald has cut jobs, streamlined the look of their paper, and added a new daily. Questions are many about the two papers and the future ahead, but both are likely to succeed in the eyes of this author.

Abstract:
This company’s 1955 advertisements and series of articles published by Lorillard in Carolina Times suggested African Americans had the same opportunities for advancement as other races in the United States. It wasn’t until the opening of a new plant in Greensboro the following year that the truth dismissed in both media items started to come to light. It was by examining the experiences of African American workers in this plant between 1956-1970, plus the history of their involvement in the tobacco industry, the author reveals further the truth about the challenges African Americans faced on the job and in society.
