Raleigh Chronicle has a good recap of the the News & Observer horrible May and June. Special attention to the on-going fallout from Howard Weaver's stay at the luxurious Umstead Hotel and Spa, and Orage Quarles's verbal attack on staffers who spoke anonymously with WRAL reporter. Bonus: the Raleigh Chronicle article points out News & Observer has to compete with strong alternative publishing in Raleigh, including WRAL. G.D. Gearino comes in for well-deserved props.
