Thank you to the editors who took my pitches this year. You turned my pitches into stories that I am deeply proud to have out in the world. Thank you to @muckrock.com for providing me with the tools that make FOIA's easier for me. And thank you to everyone who had my back on the ground this year.

I think an important point, as expressed by Sandra Fish @fishnette.bsky.social during an informative @muckrock.com Fri webinar, is personal identifiable information isn't exempt in & of itself, only in certain context. That's why FBI FOIA records, for instance, are full of names, addresses, & so on.
