First Amendment scofflaws, watch out there’s a new sheriff in town. The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press announced last week that the group had chosen Baker & Hostetler partner Bruce Brown as its new executive director.
Brown, a former reporter and longtime media lawyer, beat out more than 50 candidates for the job, where he’ll go to bat on behalf of journalists and media lawyers for greater access to public information. Before going into private practice, he covered federal courts for Legal Times (before it merged with The National Law Journal) and worked as a newsroom assistant to David Broder at The Washington Post.
