The [Wednesday] Papers
"Two-and-a-half years after a Chicago police officer was indicted for murder, the public will finally have access to a complete court docket on Thursday that will shed light on what has happened in one of the city's most high-profile criminal cases," according to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
"On Friday, Cook County Circuit Judge Vincent Gaughan ordered the court clerk to create a list of all documents and orders filed in the ongoing case against Jason Van Dyke, who is charged with murder in the 2014 shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. The clerk must release the list, generally known as a 'docket sheet,' to the public by Thursday, when the court will hold a hearing on the matter.
"Gaughan's order comes after the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, along with seven news organizations, intervened in the case in early March to argue that the court should publicly release a docket sheet and all documents filed in the case. Despite a well-established First Amendment and common law right of public access to court documents, only a handful of the more than one hundred filings have been made available to the public. The court has not made any specific findings, as required by law, to justify keeping these documents under seal."

Tronc has declined to meet our deadline for voluntarily recognizing the Chicago Tribune Guild. We'll file cards with the National Labor Relations Board today and move toward an election with close to 90% newsroom support. We hope Tronc will change its mind in the interim.
