Free Workshop for Public & Journalists: Open Records – Open Meetings - March 6, 2008

Citizens and working journalists are invited to a free workshop designed to teach them what records and meetings are open to the public under Tennessee law and what they can do if denied access. In partnership with the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy, the East Tennessee chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (ETSPJ) is pleased to present this freedom-of-information workshop, which is open to the public and all working journalists.
