Why improve access to public records?
Manage episode 411831046 series 3384875
When reporters are working on important stories, they often use Rhode Island's Access for Public Records Act, or APRA. It gives them the ability to ask for government emails, data sets, or other documents. But APRA isn’t perfect. So, there’s a bill before the General Assembly to make it stronger.
Ed talks with Colleen Cronin, a reporter who covers environmental issues for ecoRI, and John Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, to learn more. Tips and ideas? Email us at rinews@globe.com.
