Pennsylvania’s Right‑to‑Know Law (RTKL) is the backbone of government transparency in the Commonwealth. It gives every person—resident or not—the legal right to access public records from state and local agencies. Whether you’re a journalist, a community advocate, or simply a curious citizen, understanding how the law works empowers you to hold government accountable.

Access to public records is a powerful tool for journalists. This webinar will provide a primer on Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, including how to file RTK requests, what information is accessible, and strategies for processing and navigating requests and appeals. Learn how to handle denials, work through the appeals process, and ensure transparency in government operations.
