The latest state unemployment data prompted WTVD Television to seek expert analysis from Carolina Journal Managing Editor Rick Henderson. A CJ guest column from Paul Chesser on sea-level rise attracted attention from N.C. Senate Republicans, state senator and congressional candidate David Rouzer, and NCRenegade.com. Chesser discussed the column with Chad Adams on the WLTT Radio morning show.

N.C. Senate Republicans also promoted in their daily press email articles from CJ Associate Editor Barry Smith on eugenics compensation, a state budget deal, and controversial state Department of Transportation letters linked to toll-road projects. Smith discussed the DOT letters with Pete Kaliner on WWNC Radio.
