2 Wednesday, March 27,1996 ®>r Oailu Sar Hrri t : ; ' ■ Paper Should Be Vehicle for Debate Having worked at several newspapers and traveled to more than 20 countries, Graham Brink, a candidate for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, believes his experience “adds to the breadth and knowledge that is important in journalism.” Brink described what he thought made an editor sucessful. “The editor has to have vision and leadership to navigate the paper through the day-to-day process and larger objectives, ”he said. This day-to-day work and coverage is one of the things that Brink likes best about the possibility of being editor. “Something changes every day,” he said. Brink said he thought a paper’s job was, first and foremost, to tell the truth. Following that, a paper should act as a conduit and do a service for the community. Brink described the DTH as a means of fostering debate and thinks there are several issues that will demand in-depth coverage in the upcoming year. “Next year will be a big one with the election,” he said. “We should also continue to cover the (N.C.) Open Meetings Act and analyze Chancellor Hooker in his sophomore year. And, as always, we should continue to watch the government in the school, city and state.” As editor, Brink hopes to improve the efficiency of the copy desk by assigning a copy editor to each desk. He thinks that by doing this, the copy editors will become more knowledgeable about the desk’s coverage and will hopefully eliminate some factual errors. Another one of his goals is to encourage the features desk to take a more prominent role. “Features are something to get people into the paper,” he said. Brink wants the stories to be more in depth and inviting to readers. Brink said the challenge of being editor was definitely some thing he wanted to take on. He thinks the DTH does an excellent job of providing comprehensive coverage of everything from the University, to the city, the state, and even the country. He said the GUNS FROM PAGE 1 they were referring to (the sculpture) as a ‘peace project,’ but they were still talking about Chapel Hill and street violence,” Mews said. “The council’s changes ask that the project try instead to reflect the positive,” Mews said. Council members and residents also asked the Arts Commission to hold a pub lic hearing when the new design is finished and make the location of the sculpture a topic at the hearing.

Today, the DTH examines two of the applicants for editor. jm p m paper’s staff size was a positive aspect and wants to use that to his advantage. “We have a huge network,” he said. “We shouldn’t miss too many scoops.” Brink believes some ofhis strengths include understanding and analyzing different situations. “A lot of the things I’ve done have boosted my experience," he said. Brink said his work outside of the academic community had provided him with skills to make good judgements as editor. PROFILE COMPILED BY MEUSSA STEELE. “Location was not mentioned in the Arts Commission’s recommendations, and that had been one of the major objections to the original proposal,” Mews said. Mayor Rosemary Waldorf said she would like to see the sculpture on a small piece of town property at the intersection of Elliott Road and Franklin Street. Nancy Preston of the Arts Commission said she was grateful for input from citi zens and from the council. “The opinions expressed have been good and helpfiil, and because of those we can make something that goes deeper than the original proposal,” Preston said.

She has moved from being a reader of the DTH for her first two years of college to working on the paper’s staff and believes her experience as a member of several campus organiza tions and as a reader of the DTH can, “help in knowing what the readership thinks of the paper.” Fugate’s work on publications in high school and her first two years of college were, in her mind, “a step in the right direction with managing the paper.” Fugate said she remembered what the DTH was like when she was a freshman. She said that then, the issues students talked about were the ones covered in the paper. She hopes to get back to that method of coverage and cater to what students find important. “The DTH is a paper of record for Orange County,” she said. “We have to inform citizens ofwhat’s going on; we're responsible for shaping debate. But our first responsibility is to the University, our second is to the community.” Fugate said she thought journalism was an exciting field. “It shapes debate on campus,” she said. One of Fugate’s main goals is to continue what the current editor, Thanassis Cambanis, started. “One of the main changes that Thanassis has made is to make (the DTH) a self-sufficient paper, ” she said. Instead of having to concentrate on the details of day-to-day work such as overseeing stories and checking head lines, these jobs have been assigned to the managing editors and the editor now focuses his time on the “scope” of the paper. “He can concentrate on issues to be covered,” she said. “This makes the paper more vision-oriented.” Fugate believes the paper has not covered as many breaking stories or as many issues as it should have this year. She said she hoped that in the future, the staff could cover a breaking story and Campus Calendar HABITAT FOR HUMANITY will meet in Gardner 08.
