La Trobe PhD student Perrin Brown is researching the effects of Freedom of Information (FoI) policy on Australian journalists, and he's keen to hear from jounalists from all over the country who are willing to be part of a survey he's conducting. As he recently told The Wire, with proposed reforms to the 1982 FoI laws  likely to pass through parliament in the near future, his research is being conducted at a particularly interesting time.

You can listen to the interview  here, and Perrin can be contacted on 0403 548 494 or pa9brown@students.latrobe.edu.au. For more details about Perrin's research project, see this earlier article in upstart.
