As part of our commitment to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs at DeKalb Times, we requested a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1st, 2024 till September 26th, 2024. We specifically asked for details including the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
Access to public records is essential for us at DeKalb Times as it allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
