Carrboro is THE small
town with everything! Well, almost everything.... we have
cafes, restaurants, parks, grocery stores, a radio station..
Almost everything you can think of and need to live comfortably
in the 21st Century. What we don't have are movie theaters(but
we have Vis-Art Videos), a massage parlor(but Chapel Hill
has one we can use), a hotel and a newspaper.
I felt it was my civic
duty to make Carrboro a more complete town and thus I have
decided to launch it's first newspaper- The Carrboro News.
Thanks to news organizations like Fox News, the job of reporting
news has become much less mundane. To run a news organization
you no longer have to worry about such time-consuming tasks
as confirming facts and sources, being objective and having
to worry about accuracy!

The direction that news
gathering has moved is a blessing to every lazy, unmotivated, ADD(Attention
Deficit Disorder), fiction writer. And so I can finally engage in
my civic duty, while offering Carrboro it's first and BEST(Self-promotion/Lack
of modesty is another trait that news organizations have picked
up lately)local newspaper, but best of all, I won't have to waste
a lot of my time doing it! A dream come true!
We will be offering News
Stories about what's going on around Carborro(and sometimes the
World as we recognize that Carrboro is a barameter of International
Affairs and influences the decisions made by many world leaders!),
as well as awards so that we can recognize all those little things(including
people) around us that make Carrboro such a ummm.... well, let's
just say, unique Community. We will also be happy to accept articles
by guest "reporters" if you would like to contribute.
