He will otherwise be doing freelance work in North Carolina and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Carrboro Citizen<\/em> was launched by publisher Robert Dickson and Ross. At the outset, 5,000 papers were distributed throughout Carrboro. Since that time, circulation has increased to 7,000 and papers are now distributed in Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough and Pittsboro.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I greatly appreciate what Kirk and Taylor have contributed to this paper over the past four years,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Robert Dickson said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really excited about this transition and moving forward with expanded coverage for our community.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The response of our readers to our efforts has been so gratifying.
