SEJ Joins RCFP Amicus Brief — Carroll County E911 v. Hasnie [1]

February 5, 2020

SEJ joined with the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and 15 other media organizations in filing an amicus brief in Carroll County E911 v. Hasnie. Carroll County refuses to disclose 911 recordings pertaining to a November 2016 house fire in which four Flora, Indiana children died — even after reporter Aishah Hasnie filed a complaint with the Office of the Public Access Counselor, which issued an advisory opinion that the records were not exempt from disclosure.
