McClatchy Newspapers Inc. has given $200,000 to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The money will be used to establish the McClatchy Newspapers Center for Newspaper Reporting, a laboratory planned for the school's new home in Carroll Hall on the UNC-CH campus.
The School of Journalism and Mass Communication is campaigning to raise $4 million to renovate Carroll Hall. It has already raised $1.5 million. The move is expected in 1998.
McClatchy owns The News & Observer of Raleigh. McClatchy chairman Erwin Potts is a 1954 graduate of the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a member of the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame.
