[edit] Masthead or other image
Could someone please put the Observer masthead and/or a picture of the headquarters on the page? 69.134.50.153 20:05, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Photo of HQ was uploaded on 9/9/06, but I do not know how to link it into this page. Photo name, as uploaded, is Charlotte_Observer_HQ.jpg. Anyone who is able, please link the photo into this page. Thanks!
Would you have the Observer quit changing the real information on this page so they can feel they are still a news source here in Charlotte. Credibility is all but gone at the Observer and they need to focus on becoming the largest and best issuer of advertising that they can be for Charlotte. Operating on a hand full of writers and a slew of editorial staff they have become the bully for the Center City, Elected Officials, Government Waste and Big Business here in Charlotte. We appreciate the fact they are still a great source of finding sales here in Charlotte and thank them for that.
To above poster: don't be a asshole and don't do that again please. There are other ways to express your dislike of The Charlotte Observer without putting false information in to their Wiki page.
[edit] Neutrality Questioned
I added the marker for questionable neutrality to the statement "Generally, The Observer takes a liberal editorial stance, and usually endorses Democratic candidates." This statement should be substantiated by a reliable reference, or removed. Rturnham (talk) 18:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I deleted the above mentioned paragraph due to irrelevant and misleading information (as well as failure to cite sources as requested in December). Labeling The Observer's editorial members as middle-of-the-road is far from accurate. Read Sunday's (April 26th) paper when they accused the North Carolina Republican party of playing the race game, or the editor's defense of Obama's relationship with Rev. Wright. I don't believe there will ever be a consensus regarding their leanings; therefore, the most accurate portrayal is to not portray it at all. --UNCdub (talk) 17:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Breaking News
On Monday, May 5, 2008, The Charlotte Observer offered buyout packages to an undisclosed number of employees, as reported by The Business Journal, and confirmed by this editor (a non-journalist employee). Is this of sufficient interest to add it to the article? Rturnham (talk) 15:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I believe this information should be posted; however, it may only be relevant for a few months. --UNCdub (talk) 17:51, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
