Public Newsroom Workshop #2: Chaclyn Hunt

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

Chaclyn Hunt of the Invisible Institute will join us for a deep dive into how you can use the Freedom of Information Act to request (i.e. politely demand) documents from your local government. Public Newsroom Workshop #2 will be a hands-on gathering focused on FOIA essentials, government documents, and public accountability tools. Come prepared to learn from your neighbors and local journalists at the event, share your own FOIA ideas, and engage with the newsmaking process from the ground up. Chaclyn is an attorney with the Invisible Institute and creator of the Youth/Police Project, an ongoing inquiry into everyday youth-police interactions on the South Side of Chicago.
