The editors of OrangePolitics are excited to announce our first-ever online candidate forums for the upcoming Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board, Carrboro Board of Aldermen, and Chapel Hill Town Council elections. Orange County journalist Kirk Ross, former editor of the Carrboro Citizen and a columnist for both the Citizen and the Independent Weekly among others, will serve as the moderator of all three forums.
Each forum will consist of real-time written conversations between the candidates and the moderator. Questions will be solicited from OP readers before and during the forum. The moderator will have final say in question selection. The events will take place online at orangepolitics.org, with one evening dedicated to each race covered.
What question would you like asked? Post it in the comments below!
We have some big ideas to discuss, so this should be pretty interesting. In addition to election plans, the standing agenda is:
- Upcoming blog and calendar post ideas and assignments
- Policy issues and technical tip for manmaging the site
- Debrief the past month on the site
- Next editors meeting date and and time
We will probably be at Southern Rail in downtown Carrboro, but check back as this could change. The meeting is open to the public as always!
Date:
Saturday, August 27, 2011 - 3:00pm to 5:00pm
