Show Notes

An attempt to rewrite and significantly weaken Arkansas’ Freedom of Information Act failed this week, as a legislative committee resoundingly defeated HB 1726.

A coalition of media members and private citizens mobilized to fight the proposal. But the fight might not be over just yet.

We’ll talk about the bill and importance of the FOIA on today’s Know the News Podcast.
