When the Hoke County public school system suspended the teacher at the center of the recent preschool “chicken nuggets” controversy, Carolina Journal Associate Editor Sara Burrows broke the story. Fox News, WTVD, and WGHP Television credited CJ in coverage of the story, which also attracted attention from the Daily Caller, N.C. Senate Republicans, WND.com, Free North Carolina, and the Herald Sun of Melbourne, Australia. Burrows discussed the story with Lockwood Phillips on WTKF’s “Viewpoints Radio.” Meanwhile, CJ Managing Editor Rick Henderson discussed the suspension with Rick and Donna Martinez on WPTF Radio. The N.C. News Network used comments from Henderson’s interview. Burrows’ original coverage of “nugget-gate” continues to attract attention from media outlets such as the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Reading (Pa.) Eagle, and WFXT Television in Boston.
