The Daily Tar Heel entered a public record lawsuit in the fall semester of 2016 with hopes to better inform the public and to hold UNC accountable. Last Tuesday, I watched the lawyers from each side of the suit present oral arguments in the appeal process.
If you’ve read The Daily Tar Heel enough this year, you know a lot has changed. Financial difficulties have required us to adapt if we want to survive. I’ve done everything I can to make sure our coverage meets your expectations, while also figuring out the changing media environment — and trying to maintain a decent GPA.
You may notice the Feb. 23 print edition of The Daily Tar Heel is a new size. It’s a time of monumental change for the DTH. The old ways of operating are no longer working, and we’re slowly figuring out how to navigate a changing media world. The current staff is learning how to be flexible.
Kenneth Joel Zogry is the author of Print News and Raise Hell, a book written on the history of The Daily Tar Heel. For the past week, the DTH has published excerpts from the book to celebrate the paper's 125 year anniversary. The book can be purchased on Amazon or through UNC Press.

Over winter break I bought a typewriter.
Central North Carolina, including Orange County, received six to 10 inches of snow Wednesday morning, according to a statement by the National Weather Service. The University has cancelled classes through noon on Friday.

Winter break is over. We’re back and ready to report. Spring is a time of growth, and that is what you should expect from this semester’s The Daily Tar Heel.
No matter what your politics are, 2017 was a year of change.
Dear friends of the DTH,
“I am a writer, so I would prefer to have this conversation via email,” was once among my most commonly used sentences. This pretentious, constant reiteration that I, the editor of a newspaper, am a writer was an easy out for tough conversations — and more often than not, people bought it.

The classroom isn't the best for collaborative learning across discipline and educational experiences.
