Even better, she tells readers how they can successfully challenge the system using the latest public access laws. (Michael Crick, BBC journalist)

Labour had been promising freedom of information for decades. Now we are getting it we need to keep the pressure on, and this is just the book to do that. All journalists should pick up these tricks. (Jeremy Dear, General Secretary of the National Union of Journalists)
