Attorney Wade Hargrove honored with media law colloquium at UNC E-mail
Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Raleigh attorney Wade Hargrove was honored tonight (Oct. 28) at the Carolina Inn with a surprise ceremony announcing the establishment of an annual media law colloquium in his honor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

More than $200,000 for the Wade H. Hargrove Communications Law and Policy Colloquium was raised by the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters (NCAB), the North Carolina Cable Telecommunications Association (NCCTA), the Hearst Corporation and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Foundation of North Carolina.

Hargrove, a partner with Brooks Pierce in Raleigh, has been NCAB executive director and general counsel for more than 39 years, NCCTA general counsel for 30 years, and Hearst communications regulatory counsel for 20 years. He has supported the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the UNC School of Law as an adviser, volunteer and donor.

The colloquium will feature an annual public address at UNC by a prominent national figure in communications law and public policy. The speaker will also meet with students and industry leaders.

Hargrove, who was appointed to the University’s Board of Trustees this year, was the driving force behind the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy, a national forum for the media industry, legal scholars and practitioners to discuss emerging issues at the intersection of media and law. The center is a collaboration of the UNC journalism and law schools.

CAROLINA IN THE NEWS

Swimmers, poets among 2010 Rhodes Scholars from US
The Associated Press
When Henry Spelman found out he'd won a Rhodes Scholarship, his first call was to his girlfriend. To share the good news, of course, but also to see whether she was a winner as well. The couple, both seniors at the University of North Carolina, had done their final scholarship interviews apart - he in Philadelphia, she in Houston. Spelman heard the results first. When he called with his good news, "the stakes just went way up," said his girlfriend, Libby Longino, who had to wait 45 minutes before finding out that she, too, had nabbed one of the world's most prestigious scholarships.
