UNC's "conservative voice," Carolina Review needs money. Its editors have asked state's top
UNCs conservative voice, Carolina Review needs money. Its editors have asked states top Republicans for help.
State Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul Newby and N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore are expected to speak at a fundraiser this fall for UNC-Chapel Hills student-run conservative publication,
The Carolina Review, according to the magazines editors.
The event comes after a series of cyberattacks on
The Carolina Review in late April. One of the publications metal distribution boxes in Chapel Hill was tagged with the word racist. A day later, their website was hacked. The hackers deleted over 10 years worth of articles, said Bryson Piscitelli, The Carolina Reviews editor-in-chief, and left the phrase Nazi scum f*ck off underneath Piscitellis name on the site.
The fundraiser, scheduled for September, hopes to fund a massive overhaul of
The Carolina Review. The magazine plans to purchase audio and video equipment, expand print production and rent an office space in Chapel Hill. It is the latest push in a concerted effort to revitalize the conservative magazine, which until recently had vanished into relative obscurity on campus.
The state GOP definitely supports us, Piscitelli told Policy Watch.
Moore and Newby did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
