Office DJ: What The Daily Tar Heel sounded like this summer

By Adrian Tillman | July 27

"Together, this playlist encapsulates a summer's worth of muggy afternoons, walks around campus, rounds of Geoguessr and whiteboard drawings. Every time I get nostalgic about slideshow nights, beer cheese or arguments about Filet-o-Fishes, I know this playlist will bring me right back to summer at The Daily Tar Heel."

Farewell Column: My complicated relationship with the DTH

By Heidi Pérez-Moreno | May 7

"The very structure of The Daily Tar Heel makes it hard to actually be part of this newsroom if you don’t have the financial stability to handle below-average pay for the sake of altruistic, hard-earned journalism experience. I can count on one hand the amount of DTH editors over my two years that could relate to my situation."

Farewell Column: A season of lessons

By Clay Morris | April 27

"So, when the opportunity arose, I applied to become the diversity, equity and inclusion chairperson at the paper. I didn’t seek the position assuming I could rewrite the DTH’s legacy in one to two years. (After all, it is the campus paper of a University built by slaves.) Instead, I sought the position because I felt like I would at least be honest with the newsroom about its issues, if nothing else."

Farewell Column: Farewell, home of 'Elise-isms'

By Elise Trexler | April 27

Farewell Column: Muses from a girl who is still growing up

By Layla Peykamian | April 26

---

Farewell Column: Realizing Who in Fact “we” Are, together

By Emily Gajda | April 26

"I never would’ve made the decision to pursue journalism without the people I worked with. I doubt I would’ve even applied for that job. The DTH office isn’t redeemed by its comforting and peaceful energy, nor its snack selection. It’s redeemed by the people inside it."
