Thanks to everyone for chatting with us! And special thanks to @daniellebmclean, @bystevereilly and @resentfultweet for sharing their FOI knowledge with us. #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@spj_tweets A6 It was super pompous & out of touch. FOIA request came back w/ a grainy pic of him smiling while staring at the eclipse w/ the glasses next to his wife. Proof he enjoyed the celestial event. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes did a segment on it #SPJSunshine #SPJChat https://t.co/MgPJE6qXqV
@spj_tweets A6 Essentially Treasury Sec Steve Mnuchin said he did not fly to Fort Knox on date of solar eclipse. He later explained he didn’t go there to watch the eclipse because NYers didn’t care about it #SPJSunshine #SPJChat https://t.co/jZvAjx0VI9
@spj_tweets A6 Definitely my Steve Mnuchin staring at the eclipse photo story #SPJSunshine #SPJChat https://t.co/jZvAjx0VI9
Q6: What’s the most memorable story you’ve worked on that came from an open records request? #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@spj_tweets A5 Be specific with your requests and try to make them as narrow as possible #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
Q5: Do you have any special tricks or suggestions when filing open records requests for journalists or members of the public? #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@spj_tweets A4 2) In today’s environment with Trump & other pols, nationwide constantly attacking the press & calling it fake news, documents provide indisputable evidence #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@spj_tweets A4 1) Public records can reveal what’s really going on behind closed doors. How decisions are made, who is involved, and why they are doing it #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@BySteveReilly @spj_tweets @resentfultweet THIS ^ Although, its sometimes tough pressing following an appeal since many of the news orgs I've traditionally been at have been strapped financially #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
Why do you think there is so little support for access to government records and meetings? And how can we get non-journalists to understand the importance of access to information? #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@spj_tweets A3 But right after receiving the request, a DOI lawyer called telling me the records contained proprietary info, which they missed due to chaos following the gov shutdown and I needed to destroy the records. I referred them to our lawyers. #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@spj_tweets A2 Nationwide, courts, legislative branch, and governors offices all need to be subject to FOIA. (looking at you Massachusetts) #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@spj_tweets A2 Honestly, I feel like there needs to be more money and resources towards fulfilling FOIA requests. Offices are stretched super thin & don’t have ability to complete requests timely. It needs to become a priority instead of an afterthought. #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
Q2: In today’s climate, what needs to be done to improve FOI laws/processes and government transparency? #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
@spj_tweets A1 Statewise, I worked out of Maine and Massachusetts which were both terrible. Massachusetts charged me insane amounts of $ for responses. Maine, under Paul LePage, never responded to my many requests. #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
Q1: Do you think access to local, state and federal government information has gotten better or worse in the last few years? If so, why? #SPJSunshine #SPJChat
