Politics shouldn’t influence news reporting. Readers want the reporter to give them the facts straight so they can make up their own minds, writes Walter Hussman Jr. on.wsj.com/3k3w8pE
APA recently commissioned a statewide study from research firm Coda Ventures. The study found that 65% of Arkansans believe publishing public notices in newspapers should be required by law. Read more about this study, plus other industry news, here: issuu.com/arkansaspress/…
Public officials have long understood newspapers are the best medium to notify the public because they contain four essential elements: * Accessibility * Independence * Verifiability * Archivability Government websites offer none of those elements.

Never thought the most controversial photo of my career would be that of a lectern!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@NotPodium @ArkansasOnline I can’t verify the accuracy, but fakeimagedetector.com says the image is looks computer generated or modified. 🤷🏼♀️
This week I witnessed bold legislators on both sides work pragmatically to retain three major pieces of Arkansas’ FOIA. Controversial legislation rarely leaves either side with exactly what they want. I am immensely proud of what was accomplished.
It is remarkable to see the right, left, and center in AR finally agree on something: rolling back government transparency laws is a terrible idea. It’s even more mind boggling to watch certain elected officials push forward and try to do it anyway. What are they hiding?
The gubernatorial assault on Arkansas Freedom of Information is not as surprising as the acquiescence of some thoughtful legislators who know better or at least should know better. Gutting FOIA is how government accountability & legacies are tarnished. @ArkansasOnline
Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller signing the Arkansas FOIA into law on February 14, 1967. A historic day that brought sunshine to Arkansas government. Let’s not change that today. ☀️#56yearsofsunshine
My home state, where I have lived for 70 of my 73 years (Air Force and a stint as a reporter in New York took me away) we cannot let our Freedom of Information Act be changed. It is essential for transparency.
I am a no on this FOIA bill. Poke too many holes in government transparency and accountability, and you lose it. Losing democracy comes next, and that’s no exaggeration.
Today marks 18 years. Thankful to be along for this important ride. 🗞️
Congrats @Eliza_Gaines, new President of the @ARPressAssoc. She will do a great job. Committed journalists like Eliza, along with a talented 'farm team' of students writing for Arkansas college newspapers, are encouraging signs for the future. @documentaryprof @gwenmoritz
Congratulations @Eliza_Gaines , on your election as president of the APA. You are fighting the good fight for local journalism and the FOIA. I wish you a river of paid advertising ahead.
