The NC Court of Appeals questioned Tuesday whether Charlotte city government should have turned over records of city council surveys more quickly when WBTV requested those records. The city’s obligation to produce those survey results makes up the heart of the debate in Gray Media Group v. City of Charlotte.
A coalition of media groups is taking interest in a public records dispute at the N.C. Court of Appeals. The case involves WBTV’s request for surveys completed by members of the Charlotte City Council in late 2020. The coalition filed paperwork Thursday seeking permission to file a friend-of-the-court brief in the case.
