Now, not all SPJ blogs are being updated every day. FOI FYI tries. Every month since October 2007, there have been at least 24 posts per month.

I really like this post about building a FOI records file:

In a Word or Excel file, start a list including the headline, date, publication, author, link to the story, the good that resulted, and the specific records used. Then, when an agency denies you access to records, look up your list of stories and pull examples that demonstrate how the records help society.

The post also points to the FOIA Files, a list of stories that would not have been possible without the use of FOIA.

This blog should be helpful to any reporter, but I definitely plan to search past posts to help me on my ed beat.
