Randy Parton no longer appears at the former Randy Parton Theatre in Roanoke Rapids, but the story of that dubious public project continues to generate media attention for the work of Carolina Journal and executive editor Don Carrington. The day Parton held a news conference on the theater scandal, WRAL Television interviewed Carrington. Henry Hinton at WNCT Radio and Lockwood Phillips of WTKF Radio also called on Carrington for insights about the questionable deal involving Parton, the city, and a tax-increment financing scheme. Jim Jenkins’ News & Observer column also highlighted Carrington’s work.
