Journalists’ FOI requests can be challenging for public authorities. Sometimes they are viewed with suspicion. A public authority may even feel that a journalist is on a “fishing expedition”.
This free webinar is a unique opportunity for FOI practitioners to understand FOI from a journalist’s perspective and improve their FOI practice. Martin will share his experience of breaking some of the top news stories using FOI, key development in UK FOI Law, his top tips for FOI practitioners and his hopes for FOI in the future.
Martin Rosenbaum is a former BBC Programmes Editor, Producer and FOI Specialist. He is the author of “Freedom of Information: A practical guidebook” and has been involved in some of the major stories broken by the BBC using FOI. Martin is the writer-in-residence and honorary research fellow with the Centre for British Political Life, Birkbeck College, University of London.
