We at The Daily Tar Heel have a terrible track record when it comes to communities of color – specifically Black communities on campus. It was disheartening coming into The DTH as a Black first-year and hearing about the ways in which The DTH lost trust in these spaces. We misrepresented people’s voices and opinions, approached sources in predatory and entitled ways, amplified the wrong voices in our coverage, exploited students’ pain for sourcing purposes and were simply ignorant through columns and conversations that were meant to be a step forward.
