Public Records and Public Universities

Date/Time
Date(s) - 03/29/2023
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm


Join us on March 29 for a Zoom webinar to discuss public records and public universities. Our panel of seasoned journalists will discuss how journalists — and others — are using public records requests to better understand the operations of public universities.  Brandeis famously stated that “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” Nevertheless, some have raised questions about public records requesting practices at public universities, like UNC and UW.

Panelists:

  • Ryan Thornburg, associate professor, UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media
  • Erin Siegal McIntyre, associate professor, UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media
  • Amanda Reid (moderator), associate professor, UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media, and faculty co-director, UNC Center for Media Law and Policy

The event is free and open to the public.  To register, visit https://go.unc.edu/public.
