Horrendous losses in the legacy print press and the spread of access tools have inexorably combined to create the citizen journalist. The fact is, we cj’s too often lack the professional journalist’s preparation for the task. One thing that professional journalists understand at their core is their right to access and to know. The First Amendment Coalition and the California Newspaper Publishers Association have produced a guide that promises to equip citizen journalists, bloggers, activists and public officials to know the possibilities and the limits when it comes to access. The Right to Know: A Guide to Public Access and Media Law is a one-stop law guide on access and First Amendment issues. It’s written by James Chadwick and Roger R. Myers, both national authorities on the right to know. The guide is available from the First Amendment Coalition. Purchasers of The Right to Know will also receive access online to the full text of all court decisions cited in the book and access online to new legal developments and updates. The book is $30 from the First Amendment Coalition, 534 4th Street, Suite B, San Rafael, CA 94901, (415) 460-5060 or online at First Amendment Coalition
