What we do

CLT Blog is Charlotte’s largest online-only news outlet and social content network, with one of the largest followings on Facebook and Twitter of any media organization in the Carolinas. Our mix of citizen and professional contributers cover the Queen City: its music, art, nightlife, sports, politics, economy, past, and future. As a locally born-and-bred collective, we focus on Charlotte’s most pressing issues and inspiring stories, and through the use of rich media like live streaming video, engage the next generation of Charlotteans.
