A Reader Writ™ *
Charlotte Should Be
To The Charlotte Poet:
Dr. Christopher R.
Dixon, perhaps the new
edt Gynecologist-Ob
stetrician to the Charlotte
ar>« fSftj Ljllington Ave.
and 1406 BeattiesTorcT
Rd.), recently made a few
basic observations of the
journalism written at the
Charlotte Post They are as
follows:
Charlotte Poet, initially I
am prdod to say happy
anniversary to your staff
might serve as incentive to
compare your "voice of the
community" with that
voice in other cities and
locales.
Specifically, I think it
certainly is in order to
acknowledge that your
front page is indeed at
tractive: many communi
ty-oriented publications
are cluttered and actually
uninviting to the reader.
Continuity is present, but
must be supported from the
first to the last page. How
ever, there are three
facets of your journalism
that inspired me and can
not go unnoticed.
1) (hie can appreciate the
national flavor of your pu
blication*. I feel it is im
portant to be in touch with
the pair < the country! In
rhytJ with the pulse of
your country is no longer
enough. Itis a necessity to
expose our young and old to
the achievements and mis
achievements of others
wherever they are; eg
podaflywhen they ^affect
i ——
community from aa far aa
California or Florida, and
no mlsuke^ount*

numbers b North Caro
lina and indeed Charlotte.
Wbw these trained minds .
arrive, it feds good to know r
that Charlotte it not the*’
anticipated slow South of
yesterday, but the (tfogrwr
sive dfy that tolerated the
election of a black mayor
representative, a city that
ta»»-«Ueyved thn-fnstaBit
tion of several minorities
on City Council. It is good
tfcn reflects, that there are
peoples of all colors here
with business achieve
ments such as the Mack
owned and operated car
(leadership and that over
in percent «/
population is minority.
There is some security in
that fact. Many cities.
North and South, don’t
have the representation
and participation in these
categories and Charlotte
and newcomers should not
take these stats for
granted. Continue to
spread the word at the local
level, in an indepth fa
shion.
