At the end of each day, the spokesperson for each state agency logs every call they’ve received from a reporter and sends the tally, through an internal website, to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s aides.

The daily reports include information about who called and what they were told, as well as data about requests filed through the Freedom of Information Law.
