Posted — UpdatedIn an effort to test how public boards on the local, county and state level in North Carolina keep and release minutes from closed meetings, 10 news organizations across the state submitted requests to 46 different governing boards.
The coalition, based at Elon University, brings together news organizations, government representatives and others who are interested in educating the public about the benefits of open government and expanding the rights of all citizens to gain access to public documents and meetings.
Reporters from the Greensboro News & Record also submitted requests.
All records received in connection with the project, as well as a spreadsheet tracking response times and details, were shared among the news organizations.
