A case before the Washington (state) Supreme Court cited — and agreed with — the Arizona Supreme Court’s decision in Lake v. City of Phoenix. The First Amendment Coalition of Arizona (of which our chapter is a member) voted last year to spend more than $8,000 for Dan Barr and his staff’s cost to prepare the appellate argument before our state’s highest court.
Last week (Oct. 7) in O’Neill v. City of Shoreline, the Washington Supreme Court agreed with Arizona’s that metadata is an inextricable part of a public record and must be disclosed if it exists.
For anyone with legal inclinations, the decision is available at

The Phoenix Business Journal has launched the Phoenix Business Blog, an outlet where reporters and other newsroom staff can follow breaking stories, give their take on the news and provide readers with more information and analysis of the Phoenix business community.
Entries will be posted daily, and a video component is in the planning stages. The blog can be found in the center of the Phoenix Business Journal’s homepage at phoenix.bizjournals.com. Continue reading
Just when you thought YouTube was only good for funny videos to go viral, Google has launched a YouTube channel called Reporters’ Center: helping you report the news.
The hub features well-known journalists, such as Bob Woodward, Katie Couric, Scott Simon and Nicholas Kristof, giving advice on reporting the news. Woodward gives tips on investigative journalism, Couric discusses how to conduct a good interview and others share tips and insight on citizen journalism and journalism ethics. The venture gives the public a behind-the-scenes glimpse of journalism and journalists’ lives, the raw and the true.
YouTube also encourages journalists with reporting experience to upload their own “how-to” videos to share with the world.
