Students name WPA attorney 'First Amendment Guardian'
The attorney for the Wyoming Press Association was named the fourth recipient of an award given by journalism students at Laramie County Community College that recognizes individuals or groups who defend the First Amendment.
Bruce Moats, a former reporter who now represents newspapers around the state confronting infringement of the public’s right to know, received the Howard Major First Amendment Guardian Award on May 3.
The honor was presented to Moats at the Wingspan annual awards luncheon by Wingspan Online’s editor, Susann Robbins. She noted Moats successfully fought the University of Wyoming in court to prevent the institution from conducting a secret presidential search. He has also counseled Wingspan in its fight for open records.
In a recent editorial highlighting the award, Wingspan called Moats its “Bruce Almighty” defending First Amendment rights “one battle at a time.” “When we see a citizen standing up for the rights of others in this way, it gives us reason to take notice, but when it is repeated so often by the same individual, that is when we stand up and recognize him,” the editorial said.
