In our continuous pursuit of transparency and accountability in local government affairs, we at NW Ohio Times have formally requested access to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) logs sent to Paulding County from January 1, 2024, until October 7, 2024.
The specific fields requested include the requester's name and organization, the content of the request, the date of the request and its completion date, as well as the status of the FOIA. This information is essential for us in providing comprehensive news coverage about local governmental affairs.
As a media organization committed to accurate reporting and holding public institutions accountable, we believe it is crucial for us to have access to these records. We rely heavily on public records like these in our role as journalists.
We have requested that these records be provided in an electronic format for ease of use and efficiency. Additionally, given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also asked for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We will continue to keep you updated on this matter as we work towards greater transparency and accountability within our local government.
