and this, Chicago is a big problem we have an access journalism environment and so it's not press that is filing the bulk of FOIA requests or lawsuits or seeking remedy for issues because officials with power and press make handshake deals for earned coverage and positive review

Witnesses reflected on various potential motivations to leak the candidates’
names to the press. One theme was currying favor with reporters. As the Board is
heading into a new phase where all members will need to run for election, witnesses
suggested that every Board member has motivation to ingratiate themselves with the
media, to provide the “inside scoop” so that the reporter has incentive to come back
to that individual again, or to repay the favor via positive coverage during the
upcoming Board elections. This is an incentive that all Board members who are
seeking re-election next year share, regardless of whether they are currently an
appointed or elected member.

Additionally, SPPP collected documents and emails as part of the
investigation. SPPP keyword searched and reviewed over 9000 documents. These
included emails from the 21 Board members’ @cps.edu email addresses, as well as
emails of additional CPS Board staff members who had access to confidential
information related to the Superintendent/CEO search. The email search did not
uncover any evidence indicating any individual shared confidential information
related to Board business with the media via their @cps.edu email account.
In their interviews with SPPP, every Board member acknowledged that they
communicated about Board business on their personal cell phone. SPPP asked
whether each Board member would submit to a search of their personal cell phone.
The following Board members consented to SPPP searching their personal cell
phones:
