OPINION

PETERSON, Judge.

In these consolidated appeals from summary judgments, appellants argue that the district court erred when it ruled that documents that the Department of Labor and Industry released to the news media concerning appellants' alleged violations of the workers'-compensation law are public data under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA), Minn.Stat. ch. 13 (2002). We reverse and remand.
