Letters to the Editor – March 28

Posted on March 29, 2007March 29, 2007 by Staff

True to Community

The best compliment I can give to The Carrboro Citizen, for its first issue, is that it is truly “community.” In an age of increasing media fragmentation of local interest, The Citizen shows that it intends to cover what’s significant for everybody in its community. I have lived in Chapel Hill all my life, edited and published a predecessor semi-weekly in Carrboro for five years (1954-59) and believe I was dedicated to this same mission. I am confident you will be even more successful and fulfill your “community” mission.

Parts of story were fabricated

The story in the March 7 Carrboro Commons headlined “Patrolling in the Passenger Seat,” by Nick Sotolongo, detailing a ride-along with Carrboro Police Officer Paul Reinas, contained some story elements that were fabricated. Academic disciplinary action has been taken, and the Commons apologizes to Officer Reinas, the Carrboro Police Department, the readers of the Commons, as well as to the readers of The Carrboro Citizen, which reprinted the story in its March 21 inaugural edition.
