Paige Masten, a 2021 graduate of UNC and the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media, wrote a column published Monday (in The Charlotte Observer) about objectivity, Nikole Hannah-Jones and the journalism principles championed by Walter Hussman Jr., a prominent UNC donor. Hussman replied with this letter to Masten, which was published in The Charlotte Observer with his permission.
Paige, I read with interest your opinion column. While we don’t agree on all of what you have written, it is opinion, and diverse opinions are beneficial to the free competition of ideas and to the public.
