Reporters Committee Local Legal Initiative
|
As part of its new Local Legal Initiative, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press will, for the first time in its 50-year history, place attorneys in five locations across the country to help more local journalists and news organizations defend their rights to gather and report the news, gain access to public records and court proceedings, and hold state and local governments accountable. If the journalists in your community would benefit from the legal support of a Reporters Committee attorney in your city or state, submit a proposal detailing why by October 31 at
