Creating an open records request is easy with our fully automated, fill-in-the-blanks state open records law letter generator.
If a government agency denies your request for records, use our templates to file a complaint in court and learn about legal options in your state.
Student journalists must not be attacked or threatened with arrest or disciplinary action for merely doing their jobs. SPLC urges administrators and law enforcement to work directly with student journalists to ensure they can safely and responsibly report on the historic events unfolding across the country.
A bill partially inspired by the New Voices movement to protect the rights of student journalists has passed both the Minnesota Senate and House, and it now heads to a conference committee to work out differences between the two versions unrelated to student media.
We’re looking for a dynamic and organized fundraising professional to lead our development efforts, with an emphasis on individual giving and major gifts.
