The Fayetteville Times

The Fayetteville Times was a morning daily newspaper in Fayetteville, North Carolina.[1] It was first published on July 2, 1973, by Fayetteville Publishing Co.[2] Roy Parker Jr. was the editor and author of editorials, while Tom English Jr. was managing editor.[2] In 1984, the newspaper was one of three finalists for a Pulitzer Prize.[1]

The Times was consolidated with the larger afternoon-only newspaper, The Fayetteville Observer, to form the consolidated morning daily newspaper, The Fayetteville Observer-Times. An editorial assistant at The Fayetteville Times, Penny Abernathy, went on to work for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.[2]
