The first major overhaul of Massachusetts' public records law in more than 40 years went into effect January 1, 2017. What will it mean for journalists and citizens seeking accountability, as well as for local towns and government agencies that must respond to information requests?

WGBH and The Eye invite you to a public discussion to help answer these and other questions about open government in the digital age. The panel features experts representing diverse viewpoints on the new rules:


Todd Wallack, Spotlight Reporter, Boston Globe
Bob Ritchie, emeritus Massachusetts Municipal Lawyers Association
Geoff Beckwith, executive director, Massachusetts Municipal Association
Jenifer McKim, senior reporter, The Eye (moderator)


WGBH and The Eye have teamed up to investigate stories that matter to our region. Join us for in-depth panel discussions with some of the major players on important local issues.
