A great story idea goes nowhere if you don’t have access to that CEO’s nude Christmas party, that prickly judge’s courtroom, that surprisingly hostile Mary Kay convention.

This site is dedicated to tips on getting in so you can get over.

We’ll interview reporters on their great access coups and techniques.

We’ll discover the joys of commando document-digging.

We’ll monitor current legal cases that may impede access to information.

And best of all, no servicing of roadies will be necessary to go backstage at All-Access.

So please, bring us your access war stories. Ask the tough questions. Share your good stuff on getting the goods!
