Anderson Cooper takes on 'The Slammer'

Isaac Cornetti, the owner of Raleigh's "The Slammer" newspaper, will get grilled by Anderson Cooper on tomorrow afternoon's episode of "Anderson."

The Slammer is a tabloid that publishes mugshots of people arrested in several areas of North Carolina and in six other states.

The topic of the episode is making money off of murder and about public shaming. Anderson asks Cornetti if he's doing the community a service or if the practice ruins people's lives. (Full disclosure: The News & Observer also publishes mugshots online here.)

"Anderson" airs at 2 p.m. on Fox 50.

This and that letters to the editor

We get more than 1,400 letters a month and have room to print fewer than 280. Sometimes we move letters into the publishing pipeline only to have them overrun by other things. Here are some of those letters, including some good ones on health care and one on bubble wrap.
