About

CharlotteObserver.com originally launched as Charlotte.com in 1996, and today is the Carolinas’ most visited news and information website. We are the online version of The Charlotte Observer, sharing content with McClatchy affiliates and our interactive partner, WBTV/WBTV.com. Mission Statement: We deliver what people need to discover and understand the region. “ ... the mission remains the same as it has been for decades: to report clearly, truthfully, completely. The Observer has shared one Pulitzer Prize and won three others outright, including two for public service, the pinnacle of American journalism (only seven newspapers have won more).”
