News, sports and feature journalists will want to attend this session to review old tricks and the latest techniques for access to data and records. We will discuss data requests from beginning to end: how to figure out which records and databases exist; how to deal with difficult public officials; how to get data in the format you want; how to appeal and successfully challenge denials. The discussion will also include strategies to keep a steady flow of information and ideas coming into your newsroom by using FOI. Time reserved for your questions, suggestions and problems.
