The News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C., posts a web page where its growth team's coverage regularly appears at http://www.newsandobserver.com/news/growth/ (you'll need to register for access to some of these news links).

Seven years ago, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution introduced Horizon, a weekly section devoted to growth-related coverage (see http://www.ajc.com/business/content/business/horizon/index.html).

Both the New York Times and Washington Post recently published major articles about growth-related topics.

The Times story focused on a group of "renegade thinkers" who "call smart growth a dumb idea." The Post's three-day series, "Investing in Sprawl”, examined growth in the Washington, DC, area. See the following links:
