DTH: The Next 125 Years
Since 1893, the Daily Tar Heel has told the stories of our students and community members. It has upheld truth and integrity, and it’s done it the Carolina way - by giving students a platform to express themselves.
We know print media is under threat. As we look to a future of change and reinvention, we know we can’t do it without supporting our journalists, photographers, and graphic designers.
We want to continue to be a laboratory - a place for our newsroom to experiment, discover, and be at the cutting-edge of media. We want to continue to give our journalists the best exposure, and help them set the standard for ethical and impactful journalism.
It costs us $4,000 to provide support, workspace, training, and a platform to one budding student journalist for one year. Your donation will give student journalists a chance to learn.
We’re asking you to be a part of our commitment to journalistic freedom and student leadership for the next 125 years. Help us invest in the future of journalism by investing in our student journalists of today.
