Documenters can access trainings in notetaking, social media, sourcing, fact-checking and legal issues related to public governance meetings. All Documenters are trained to follow any reasonable restrictions on their activity according to their state’s Open Meetings Act. In addition to skill-based trainings, Documenters staff host a variety of workshops geared toward community building and programming led by and for Documenters.
The Documenters Field Guide serves as an online manual for assignments.
