Hi all –

The Washington Post recently ran a story looking at an FOIA battle in the suburbs of Virginia. What are your thoughts on this? What kind of reporting was required here? What’s the document trail? Does this give you a sense of some of the requirements needed to be an investigative journalist?

Please weigh in on the comments board here by the start of class on Tuesday.

Wednesday’s Field Trip to Springfield

stevejfox — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:44:11 +0000

Ok, looks like we’re good to go for tomorrow’s trip – let’s plan on meeting at the circle at the front gate of the Springfield Technical Community College at around 8:30 — your back pack should include: camera, voice recorders, pens, pads. We’ll likely be driving to different locations and getting out but I will pass along more information later.
