Senate Republicans promoted Carolina Journal Managing Editor Rick Henderson‘s exclusive report on the topic.

Association of County Commissioners’ efforts to boost tax-hike referendums this fall across the state. Contributor Duke Cheston reported on medical schools’ increasing focus on applicants’ “bedside manner” — rather than their college grades and test scores — in making admissions decisions. Contributor Karen McMahan profiled the N.C. House District 93 race. Along with the print reporting, a CarolinaJournal.tv video clip of Duke professor Jacob Vigdor attracted attention from the Duke University On Demand website.
