The WatchDog Alert (formerly WatchDog TipSheet from 2008-2019) was a regular source of story ideas, articles, updates, events and other information with a focus on freedom-of-information issues of concern to environmental journalists in both the United States and Canada.

WatchDog was compiled, edited and written by Joseph A. Davis [3], who directs the WatchDog Project, an activity of SEJ's Freedom of Information Task Force [4] that reports on secrecy trends and supports reporters' efforts to make better use of FOIA.
