Want to learn more about public records? Looking for a way to get a leg up on the competition, impress your editors, and literally have stories come to you while you sleep? Then get ready, because Access Across America, brought to you by the Society of Professional Journalists, is coming to Boston.

Learn tips and tricks gleaned by MuckRock founder Michael Morisy from thousands of public record and FOIA requests, and discuss your frustrations with getting government documents. Whether you are a seasoned pro or looking for your first internship in the media world, this session will help you report on the stories that matter, learning to think and investigate like a pro while avoiding the dead ends, frustrations and runarounds so common in both investigative and local beat reporting.
