New company reaches E.P.I.C. proportions

Electronic Public Information Consultants, a new Seattle-based company founded by three University of Missouri journalism graduates, offers advanced analysis of government records for news organizations and public sector clients.

Electronic Public Information Consultants, a company geared towards obtaining, analyzing and reporting on electronically stored government records, has begun operations in Seattle.

According to co-owner Adam Berliant, E.P.I.C. is targeting news organizations, but expects to work for others in the public sector who utilize public information.

"We are able to do far more complex analyses of government data than one is able to do online," Berliant said.

Berliant is joined by Tom Braden and David Hinchman as owners of the new business. All three are recent graduates of the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
