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.\"
