As Kanye West once (allegedly) said, “My life is dope and I do dope shit.”
That’s kind of my motto.
At The Daily Tar Heel, I’ve been on the arts/arts & culture/arts & entertainment/arts & stuff desk for three years, since I started at UNC. As a desk, we’ve covered what many would consider dope shit — everything from professors in love to when Prince was at UNC to the best dogs on campus.
And last year, Kelsey Weekman, internet extraordinaire, created a digital desk at the DTH that encompassed the fun and interactive — everything from great places to eat in Chapel Hill to determining which member of the academic scandal you are and more.
The Daily Tar Heel is all about dope shit. That’s why we’re trying something new.
I am so proud and excited to announce our new entertainment vertical, Swerve.
Swerve is a mix of the two aforementioned desks — fun features, longform stories and essays that were traditionally found in the arts section with the interactivity and creativity traditionally found in our blogs.
