How Public Records Shed Light on State and Local Government in Rhode Island
March 16 at 10:30 am - 12:00 pm EDT
Public records are one of the key tools journalists use to shed light on state and local government in Rhode Island. Hear from working journalists who use Rhode Island’s public records law daily to tell important stories and hold our government accountable. Learn the good — and bad — of public records law in Rhode Island.
This Sunshine Week event is sponsored by ACCESS/RI, a group of open government advocates including the New England First Amendment Coalition. The event is free and open to the public. Spanish-language translation will be available.
