Welcome toĀ CityViewĀ Today! Later this week—Wednesday morning, to be exact—your daily email dose of Fayetteville news will look a little different. We’re giving our newsletter a refresh. Hopefully, you’ll find the new look easier to navigate and read as we highlight our local journalism. After that, we’ll be introducing new features to the newsletter in the coming weeks.


InĀ today’s newsletter: Hundreds of people headed downtown on Saturday for the third series of “No Kings” protests across the country. Our coverage includes nearly two-dozen photos of the signs, slogans, and costumes. Plus, we review “Driving Miss Daisy” at Cape Fear Regional Theatre, and I had camera in hand to snap photos of the CROP Hunger Walk.

Thanks for reading,
Matt Hennie
Editor-in-Chief
