Jeff Jarvis syllabus and curriculum records

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:

Teaching materials for a course called “New Business Models for News” taught by Jeff Jarvis. Requested records include the syllabus, copies of any handouts distributed in class, copies of any presentations or PowerPoints shown during the course, and any course evaluations submitted by enrolled students between January 1 2013 and August 1 2014.

The requested records include any notes, worksheets, and/or reference materials personally used by Jeff Jarvis to deliver the lectures and/or in-class discussions.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

J.K. Trotter
