New Haven Register reporter Alexandra Sanders will be leading a workshop at 2 p.m. EST today about Freedom of Information laws.
Register Engagement Editor Ed Stannard provides the following description:
While she will be talking specifically about the Connecticut FOIA, there should be information that will be informative to any reporter seeking documents from government agencies, including the SEC.
We are going to be experimenting with a new platform, called Big Live, which has the advantage of being accessible from Facebook and which can be embedded in any blog or webpage.
The embed code apparently doesn’t work with WordPress.com blogs, so all I have is the link:
http://www.biglive.com/bl/stage/widget/stage/1069/smlWidget/true/
However, if you would like the embed code for your blog, email me at stephenbuttry (at) gmail (dot) com.
That’s too bad that WordPress doesn’t allow the embed. Facebook shows a message that it’s not a trusted site and you have to click twice to make an exception. This is a new platform, which I found on my Northwester University alumni listserv (GO WILDCATS!!). In my new position as a community engagement editor, I want to experiment with new things, and this seemed a perfect opportunity. They are already looking into the WordPress issue! Rather than the Big Live link above, you can check it out on the Register’s website: http://bit.ly/swuvFq .
