Arkansas FOI Handbook now available
The 14th Edition of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Handbook is now available. Copies can be obtained free of charge from the Arkansas Press Association or the Office of the Arkansas Attorney General.
The newest edition reflects several important changes made during the 2009 Arkansas General Assembly, most of them favorable to open government and appeals from denials of rights. The Handbook is a valuable resource for journalists, government agencies, school boards and the general public.
The publication is produced biennially by the Arkansas Press Association with the assistance of the Attorney General's Office. The printing of 25,000 copies is underwritten by APA, the Arkansas Governor's Office, the Arkansas AG's Office, the Arkansas Broadcasters Association, the Society of Professional Journalists, the Associated Press, the AP Managing Editors, AP Broadcasters Association and the Arkansas News Bureau.
Copies may be downloaded in the "Core Publications" Section of this Web site.
