Speaker:
Lucy A. Dalglish is the Executive Director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, a voluntary, unincorporated association of reporters and news editors dedicated to protecting the First Amendment interests of the news media. Based in Arlington, Virginia, the Reporters Committee has provided research, guidance and representation in major press cases in state and federal courts for 30 years.
Before assuming the position in January 2000, Dalglish was a media lawyer for almost five years in the trial department of the Minneapolis law firm of Dorsey & Whitney. From 1980-1993, Dalglish was a reporter and editor at the St. Paul Pioneer Press. In 1995, she was awarded the Wells Memorial Key, the highest honor bestowed by the Society of Professional Journalists, for her work as Chairman of SPJ's national Freedom of Information Committee from 1992-95 and for her service as a national board member from 1988-91. In 1996, she was one of 24 journalists, lawyers, lawmakers, educators, researchers, librarians, and historians inducted into the charter class of the National Freedom of Information Act Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C.
Dalglish earned a Juris Doctor (JD) degree from Vanderbilt University Law School in 1995; a Master of Studies in Law (MSL) degree from Yale Law School in 1988; and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in journalism from the University of North Dakota in 1980.
