On Wednesday, reporter Jessica Owen explained how difficult it can be for reporters to access the information we need to accurately cover certain stories. Her year-plus long odyssey navigating the hellish Freedom of Information channels provides quite a glimpse into how some stories are assembled - and why they might not happen as quick as you might think.
