RECENT FEDERAL statutes sta-tutes and Utah's Open Meetings Meet-ings Laws have been enacted to allow news coverage of almost all government activities activi-ties and records. It is the duty of a responsible free press to give you information informa-tion about city council meetings, meet-ings, school board decisions, and county commission meetings, meet-ings, but you will never read about them if you permit them to hold their meetings behind closed doors. 1 ' |
