IJNet Live: How journalists can more easily access information
How can journalists file freedom of information requests? Are there any ethical challenges to accessing government information? What can journalists in closed, non-democratic societies do to access information and hold those in power accountable?
These questions and more will be answered at our live chat tomorrow. At 10 a.m. EST, we’ll talk transparency, freedom of information law and more with Helen Darbishire of Access Info Europe and Melissa Yeager of the Sunlight Foundation. You’ll be able to ask them questions about accessing information more easily as a journalist. To sign up for the chat, click here.
