Add citation to Jock Lauterer's article in spring 2003 issue of Grassroots Editor about the Wake Weekly. "One toke over the line? When the watch dog becomes the guard dog" http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.464.5392&rep=rep1&type=pdf

Please explain the notability tag. Every newspaper in all of North Carolina is listed in an index; all of them have their own page. Why pick on this one?

It's a weekly with limited sourcing even among the other tiny local papers. Abductive (reasoning) 15:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair; I'll try to find some alternative sourcing. It's tough, because newspapers generally don't write about other newspapers. But this paper is well regarded across the state. Its staff size rivals some small dailies. 66.147.75.58 (talk) 01:36, 17 February 2010 (UTC) DEL[reply]
