Weekly update, August 2

Welcome to The Carrborean's weekly update. While we post stories on this website and Insta (the_carrborean) throughout the week, I'm mindful of the volume this can generate in your email inbox. So I'll send out a summary at the end of the week rather than as each story is posted unless the information is needed urgently.

BIG NEWS: We are preparing for the first free monthly print edition in September! Would you like to submit a book recommendation (about 100 words--free) or a classified ad (think: missed connections, special event commemoration, announcements, etc.: $25 for 25 words)? Or perhaps you have a story idea--either for us or for you to cover? Contact info@thecarrborean.com about all that.

What you can expect to find in September's free print edition: Stories about community preparedness for flooding; mental health effects of flooding; and the rise (again) of local journalism around the U.S., along with regular features including:

--Gallery Place with featured artists at our local galleries

--The Events Calendar for you to plan an exciting September in Carrboro

--Carrboro and CH High School events

--Book recommendations from your neighbors and Carrboro-inspired games and puzzles

--Local restaurant features

--Classified Ads

--And more!

You'll find a free copy at your favorite Carrboro haunts and I'll post that list when it's assembled.

In the meantime, encourage your favorite businesses and organizations in and outside of Carrboro to advertise in The Carrborean! More info here.

Other news: The Carrborean seeks two interns to work on local journalism and help us grow! Contact: info@thecarrborean.com for details.
