With less than 30 days until November 5, also known as Election Day in the United States, the UNC Charlotte Urban Institute supports our partners at the Charlotte Journalism Collaborative (CJC) in their efforts to ensure all Charlotte residents are equipped with reputable information to be civically engaged.
About Our Partnership In 2023, the UNC Charlotte Urban Institute became a data partner for the Charlotte Journalism Collaborative (CJC). The CJC is a collective of more than 20 reporters spanning six Charlotte newsrooms. The group was establuished in 2019 with support from The Knight Foundation.
The goal of the CJC, much like ours, is to seek solutions for the wellbeing of Charlotte’s residents. Whereas the Charlotte Urban Insitute seeks solutions to the social, economic, and environmental challenges facing our communities through data-driven research, the CJC is committed to making access to trusted information a reality for all in the Charlotte community, and strengthening vital connections that can make positive change and drive informed development for the city’s future.
Our role, as the premier CJC data partner, is to support the CJC by providing access to reputable data sources, tools, data translation/interpretation, and to amplify their work inasmuch as it informs those in our region about relevant topics of interest and encourages them to engage.
Note: The Charlotte Urban Institute is a nonpartisan institute and does not take stances on political issues or in elections. As a public university, UNC Charlotte, and its associated divisions and units, respect and adheres to state laws and mandates by the UNC System.
