• Summary:"This book combines the political and the practical aspects of Access to Information (ATI) and Freedom of Information (FOI) research. It covers ATI in relation to critical social science, investigative journalism, and social justice activism in Canada. It addresses recent political stories and issues uncovered by researchers, journalists and activists using ATI, including state surveillance, prison expansion, the close ties between oil companies and the federal government, and the Lac-Megantic rail disaster. Written by prominent journalists and academic researchers, each chapter also offers advice to those interested in using ATI in their own research, and the volume ends with a list of helpful tips for conducting ATI/FOI research."-- Provided by publisher.
