Uncover the Facts With Public Records: How to Use Open Government Laws to Get Your Story

What
Join us for an open records and meetings workshop on May 8!

The Atlanta Press Club and the Georgia First Amendment Foundation invite you to a session on how to use Georgia’s open meetings and open records laws to dig into what’s happening inside state and local government.

Ken Foskett of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigations team, Jim Zachary, CNHI deputy national editor, and First Amendment attorney Tom Clyde, partner at Kilpatrick Townsend, will explain how to:

- Use public records to find out about government operations at all levels
- Know which public meetings are open under Georgia law
- Challenge agencies and officials who don’t comply with open government laws
