Follow the Money: Campaign Finance Records

In this session, we’ll explore how you can access campaign finance records.   We’ll hear from seasoned investigative reporters – Angela Couloumbis and Brad Bumsted – who explain the challenges they’ve had in obtaining these records, the impact their coverage has had and best practices for getting information that is deemed public, but often shrouded in secrecy.

We’ll also hear what the legal parameters are and what is allowed through PA’s Open Records Law. Plus, we’ll take a quick dive into how best to analyze and manage data when digging through financial files.
