DESCRIPTION:Using public records laws can reveal everything from covert sur
veillance programs to hidden family history - but only if you know how to
ask for it effectively. At this workshop\, FOIA (Freedom of Information Ac
t) masters from MuckRock and other leading transparency organizations will
share their basic strategies for opening government at all levels. They
39\;ll go beyond magic keywords to include and teach participants how to g
et in the mind of government bureaucracy to file more precise\, effective\
, and illuminating requests. In addition to strategies that will help new
requesters and veterans alike improve their transparency strategies\, the
workshop will offer opportunities to receive advice and feedback on attend
ees'\; request ideas.
