Freedom of Information Issues
Can they do that? Can I have that? What records can I get for that story? Iowa Freedom of Information Council Executive Director Kathleen Richardson will help you answer those questions and others. Richardson will also talk about the changes being discussed for electronic media in the courts, from the mainstream media to bloggers. In addition, members of the board establishing the new Iowa Public Information Board office, Bill Monroe and Keith Luchtel, will discuss the new effort and how you can use it. |

Can I Get a RT?
You see a tweet by someone you trust...but is it accurate? You find a picture on Facebook of a teenager likely involved in a major car crash that’s all over your newscast; her friends are saying RIP on their wall...is that enough confirmation for you to use on air? This session will feature professionals discussing scenarios you’ll likely face this week in your newsroom. |

Taming the Toys: GoPros, mobile back-packs and other technologies are changing the way we cover stories so fast, many storytellers are learning as they go.
