Sunshine Review leads these really great weekly #FOIAchat discussions on Twitter on freedom of information act issues. Our turnout includes open government advocates, public officials, and professional journalists.
Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ryan Gabrielson from California Watch will answer questions and speak on the topic “From Tip to Story: How to Write an Investigative Piece” this Friday at 1 CT. Gabrielson has extensive experience obtaining documents from local governments using FOIA.
Gabrielson was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for local reporting in 2009 for his reporting on how a popular sheriff’s focus on immigration enforcement endangered investigation of violent crime and other aspects of public safety in Mesa, Arizona.
