[edit] Progress wins open records appeal

"Near the end of last semester, the Progress staff got fed up with vast quantities of black ink clouding the police reports we received from the Eastern police department every week. The reports were so heavily redacted we couldn't list names in the police beat without running the risk of libeling someone.

We had to figure out how to end the unnecessary redactions without delaying information to our readers."
