The federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which recently
turned 50, has been hailed as the primary means by which US
citizens can know about how their governors operate in a democratic
republic. Recently, however, it has been criticized as ineffective
because it is cumbersome and full of loopholes. This book examines
the role and effectiveness of the FOIA, comparing the FOIA world
with the pre-FOIA world, rating its effectiveness compared to other
access laws internationally, examining ways in which it can be
improved, and questioning whether it should be dismantled and
replaced. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Communication Law and Policy.
