Data and documents talk when others won’t. They tell the truth when others lie. They let you see the big picture, protect you, and lead you to real humans you can interview.
In this webinar, you will learn what kinds of records exist and how to get them.
WHAT WILL I LEARN:
- How public data and documents can pack power into an interview-driven story
- How to navigate local, state and federal records laws
- How to troubleshoot denied requests
- How to get into a records routine
- How others have used records in creative ways to cover universities
- How to think outside the box if a record isn’t public
WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE:
This webinar is an introduction to what’s possible with public records, geared toward reporters, digital producers, bloggers, storytellers and anyone who is interested in digging into information that is readily available.
