During OU's celebration of Sunshine Week (3/9 - 3/14), Frank Deaner, the president of the Ohio Coalition for Open Government, visited our SPJ chapter and shared some anecdotes regarding Open Record Laws.
We had the opportunity to interview Deaner following our meeting. See snippets from our interview below.
Deaner talks about an audit that was conducted in 2004 that resulted in some provisions to benefit journalists with Open Record Law requests.
Understanding your rights as a journalist and knowing what information you have access to can be overwhelming, but it's important. Deaner offers suggestions to brief you on your rights and explains how to give yourself more credibility as a student journalist.
