Today we will look at one of my favorite tricks to do when I'm new to a beat: Making a public records request for all the public records requests.
It might seem silly, but you learn some amazing stuff sometimes.
In this instance, I used the information to bolster my case for an article about a backlog of Freedom of Information Act requests at the Naval Postgraduate School.
I also later made a separate request for something I saw here and will post that Monday.
Below is my FOIA request for the FOIA requests and the Navy school. I should note the Presidio of Monterey denied a similar request for its requests a few months later.
