FOI and Public Records Workshop: Smart Tips for Journalists
A San Francisco Chapter event
In these times of shrinking budgets and staff, reporters are more challenged than ever to get the information – especially public information – they need for thorough stories. What changes – if any – have occurred under the Obama Administration that make it easier to have requests for documents honored in a timely manner? Speakers at this San Francisco Bay Area chapter event will provide background, examples, and smart strategies on these topics:
- How FOI has changed (if it has) from the Bush to Obama administrations, examples of recent lawsuits, and how to navigate FOI hurdles.
- How the California Public Records Act has changed in the last year, examples of what precipitated legal action, how to make requests, and what to if you get no response or have difficulty getting records.
- What a reporter can do to translate hundreds of thousands of records into a digestible and comprehensive database.
