Jonathan M. Alexander is a native of Charlotte. He began covering the Carolina Panthers for the Observer in July after working at the N&O for seven years, where he covered a variety of beats, including UNC basketball and football, Duke basketball, recruiting and schools, public safety and town government.

They should just dual hire D Newton because he is the only one not leaving, even though it would be a mercy to us fans. What say yall, 2 years and he moves on? 

Exactly. LOL

The pay must be garbage at the Charlotte Observer because these reporters run for the hills the first chance they get.

Im familiar with him from the UNC beat. He doesn’t seem like a bad guy, but he has certainly been a part of the Raleigh N&O crusade against all things UNC Tar Heels and absolutely spread fake news and negative stories about Carolina in his short time there. The triangle media has a hard on for UNC and his coverage was average at best. Certainly not as bad as Dan Kane or Andrew Carter  or Brownlow.

This guy focused more on try to “get” UNC a lot more than he ever did on any actual sports

the observer is garbage

Have to agree with you on this. He wasn’t as bad as some of the other people at the N&O but their coverage is extremely biased against UNC.

DeCock was the ringleader in that circus, correct?

Kane is the ringleader. He and Andrew Carter still harass Carolina with bogus FOIA requests. 
 

here is one from Alexander in June 22 - https://nextrequest.unc.edu/requests/20-259

no doubt looking to try and dig up some dirt and find any thing at all that he can spin as some garbage against UNC. 
 

I think one way, and correct me if I’m wrong, that UNC can make it more difficult for these idiot reporters like Kane, Jon Solomon, etc to harass UNC is to privatize the athletic department. I’m sure the money is there to do so.

Dan Kane was the worst one

Kane has slowly moved on to reporting about local government corruption, misuse of government resources, police and CO misconduct - ya know, stuff that really matters and deserves to be heard about. NOT spending almost a decade of his life floating conspiracy’s from pack pride and making a big deal about athletes taking easy courses in college. He is a hack. 
 

N&O reporters also barely have investigated or discussed the pay for play and federal investigation at NC$T with Dennis Smith and they have completely turned a blind eye with the payments to Zion from duke ERRRR I mean a “third party”.

      Jared Feinberg's Falcons v Panthers film breakdown

      No, I’m sorry but the Huddle gospel was that Moore was worthless and was only on the roster because he was butt buddies with the HC

      Jared Feinberg's Falcons v Panthers film breakdown

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      The Panthers did a great job of countering the Falcons' pass rush in the run game. They utilized veteran wideout David Moore, a good run blocker on the perimeter, as the motion man to help with crack-toss plays and trap blocks. It was also interesting to see more Sean McVay wide zone concepts in Canales’ version, especially with the “insert” concept that is a table in these systems.   Second-year cornerback Chau Smith-Wade didn’t come out of the gates hot, but settled in and put forth a fine performance. His spacing in zone coverage tightened up and it began to have an impact later on—like on his pick-six of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. He also showcased good matching capabilities while having some impressive man reps and tackles in space. You have to appreciate how well Ejiro Evero’s defense rallied to the football. Some runs that would, in the past, go for chunk yardage were contained. Tackling was improved on all three levels of the field. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was once again the leader in receiving yards (48) on Sunday, but he struggled away from the box score with a couple of drops. As head coach Dave Canales noted Monday afternoon, the Falcons did a great job staying in phases on McMillan, especially at the top of routes. Rookie safety Lathan Ransom showed more flashes of control as a tackler. He continues to show the physicality that is needed in Evero’s defense while having the athleticism and downhill burst to click and close sideline to sideline or north/south. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/09/23/panthers-film-review-falcons-week-3/86308214007/

      Something positive (defense)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      Horn + Jackson + Smith-Wade might be the best CB trio we've had in a minute.
