.@josie_huang put it best: “This settlement upholds the rights of journalists and helps ensure that what happened to me won’t happen to other reporters.” Very proud of @rcfp attorneys’ work with @gibsondunn on Josie’s behalf to get this result.
Breaking news: @LAist's @josie_huang, represented by attorneys from @rcfp and @gibsondunn, reached a settlement with LA County and the LA County Sheriff’s Department that sets a new benchmark for journalists whose rights are violated by law enforcement. rcfp.org/josie-huang-la…
Being a reporter, I never wanted to make myself the story. But this time, I thought there’s more at stake than myself. I think about the community I represent, and who might find the governor’s comment hurtful. A thread:
Reporter Yanqi Xu did some good journalism. Rather than respond to her findings, Jim Pillen went on the radio and said that her work wasn't worth reading because of where she came from. How embarrassing. Infuriating. Sad. My column: flatwaterfreepress.org/governors-comm…

“It’s particularly disappointing to see such a significant rule change be pushed through during the holiday season on an ‘emergency basis’ when there really is no emergency at all,” said @rcfp's @Jen_A_Nelson washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
An important day for transparency in Maryland.
The Maryland Supreme Court is hearing two issues today related to public records laws, court/police transparency & the 1st amendment. First: Oral arguments on costly police records under MPIA, critical in context of Md's recent historic police reform washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
U.S. local newspapers are dying at a rate of 2 per week. By 2025, a third of them will be gone. If you’re not convinced that’s a doomsday-level threat to democracy, read this state-by-state list of what local reporters uncovered in 2022. It’s a sample of what we stand to lose.
NEW: @rcfp and more than a dozen news organizations are urging the U.S. Senate to pass a federal shield bill that would provide essential protections for the public’s right to know. rcfp.org/briefs-comment…
