Texas Public Information Act in action

This American-Statesman story pegged to Sunshine Week talks about how AA-S reporter Mike Ward (who'll be at A&M next month) used open records requests last year to shed further light on "state government's biggest scandal in a decade" as the Texas Youth Commission story unfolded.

During his Journalist-in-Residence week April 21-25, Ward will teach A&M students about digging out an accurate story from a variety of public records, how to cultivate confidential sources and how to investigate using the Internet, phones and shoe leather.
