Santa Fe Reporter Shares Muckraking Tool
To Empower and Inspire Citizen Watchdogs

To mark Sunshine Week, the Santa Fe (N.M.) Reporter released a new version of MuckrakersGuide.com, an online "tool shed" for reporters and others to access links and resources for getting public records.

Home to more than 200 links to databases and search engines, Muckraker'sGuide.com expects to continue its expansion with feedback from users.

Santa Fe Reporter writer Dave Maass explained the guide and how to use it in "The Paperless Chase".

"There aren’t enough eyes in the media to watch everything all the time in the Information Age. SFR hopes this guide will inspire readers to join us as independent watchdogs and personally hold the powers that be, in the government and corporate worlds, accountable," Maass wrote.
