The Daily Tar Heel

The Daily Tar Heel UNC-Chapel Hillโ€™s independent student newspaper, printing news and raising hell since 1893. ๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ She serves as the public face of the paper.

The Daily Tar Heel has been publishing continuously since 1893, and in 1989 it incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation separate from the university. It stopped taking student activity fees in 1993 and is solely funded by its advertising revenue, thus making it both fiscally and editorially independent. The paper moved off campus to downtown Chapel Hill in the summer of 2010. The studen

t journalists are solely responsible for all content under the direction of the student editor-in-chief. The paper circulates 18,000 free copies each publishing day during the regular academic year to 205 distribution locations throughout campus, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Chatham and Durham, (http://www.dailytarheel.com/index.php/page/find_a_paper) making it the largest community newspaper in the area with an estimated readership of more than 38,000. The editor-in-chief oversees the newsroom and is ultimately responsible for all news and editorial content. The editor also hires the rest of the news and editorial staff, which includes the managing editors for print and online, the opinion editor, the public editor and editors for each of the newsroomโ€™s 14 desks. The student advertising and business staff comprises about 30 students a year working separately from the news staff.

BREAKING: On Friday afternoon, the UNC Black Student Movement held a press conference announcing that the organization's co-ownership of the Upendo Lounge in the North Student and Academic Services Building had been dissolved. The lounge has been in the co-ownership of UNC BSM since 1973.

BSM President Adam Sherif said administrators cited new federal guidelines that instruct all federally funded entities to ensure they are not engaging in "discriminatory practices, including those labeled as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs." He said administrators argued the lounge excluded...

UNC football announced the suspension of cornerbacks coach Armond Hawkins in a press release on Thursday afternoon.

According to the release, Hawkins was suspended "for violating NCAA rules related to extra benefits." Early this week, TarHeel247 reported that Hawkins' suspension stemmed from supplying players' family members with sideline passes to games.

When the leaves start changing color and the air turns crisp, fall officially announces itself. It's the season of apple cider, hay rides and pumpkins, all of which are farm-based activities.

Speaking of pumpkins, explore Orange County's patches: Spring Haven Farm, Jeanโ€™s Neighborhood Market and Smith's Family Fun Farm.

From carving pumpkins with goats to selecting the perfect gourd from the patch, farms across the Triangle bring in crowds to celebrate the changing seasons.

REVIEW: "While Swift has always been able to play with language and clever wordplay, the phrasing in lines like 'I'm not a bad bitch, and this isn't savage' feel out of place, almost trying too hard to be current or edgy," Tiffany Plusnick writes.

Gov. Josh Stein signed Executive Order No. 24, โ€œAdvancing Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence That Benefits All North Carolinians,โ€ last month, maintaining the state's AI-based development while deploying the technology ethically and responsibly.

The new North Carolina AI leadership council will guide and assist the governor and state agencies with regards to AI use, ensuring that it benefits both North Carolinaโ€™s economy and residents.

The newly formed AI Leadership Council, which emerged from the order, will advise the Governor and state agencies on AI policy and strategy.

COLUMN: "The term holistic admissions is a bit of a paradox," Radian Hong writes. "If the college admissions process were truly holistic, it would be impossible to decide who to admit and who to reject. Thatโ€™s because to say one person is inherently a more valuable contribution to a community, or a better person as whole, is full of hubris."

COLUMN: โ€œItโ€™s a rare, somewhat flimsy piece of defiance from the opposition party in Congress, but one that is decidedly welcome," Connor Foote writes. "If they allow these cuts to come to fruition, it would lead to the premature deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans through increased costs to life-saving healthcare."

"Those in power in our federal government want us to suffer. They want to continue to take away our basic rights, refute our abilities to provide for ourselves and enrich their ultra-rich friends."
