Rhode Island Open Meeting Law: How Newsrooms Respond to Executive Session Secrecy

Description

The New England First Amendment Coalition is continuing its series on state open meeting laws with a new class on executive sessions.

This class features NEFAC's Tim White, an investigative journalist for WPRI in Providence. White will share a story about a government agency holding an executive session, a secret meeting allowed only under certain circumstances. White will discuss how he and his colleagues responded to this meeting and continued their reporting.

This class is provided by NEFAC with support from the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation, SPJ New England, the Rhode Island Foundation, MuckRock and the New England Society of News Editors.

Previous lessons can be viewed on NEFAC’s YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/c/fivefreedoms Or through its new multimedia FOI Guide: https://www.nefac.org/foiguide/

He was honored for a 2010 series of stories probing government waste in Rhode Island. He won his second Emmy for 2012 coverage of Providence’s troubled pension system. A 2014 probe into a lack of accountability at a local fire district led to his third Emmy honor. A 2016 investigation that raised questions as to where a powerful state representative actually lived resulted in the politician’s indictment and was White’s fourth Emmy win.
