This is Sunshine Week: March 16-22

The annual Sunshine Week initiative focusing on the importance of open government is taking place this week, with events scheduled around the nation.

A roster of Sunshine Week participants and events listings are posted on the Sunshine Week website. To have your event listed, email sunshineweek@asne.org. 

Sunshine Week was launched by ASNE in 2005 and quickly grew to a nationwide event celebrated by national and local news media on all publishing platforms; federal, state and local governments; grade schools and universities; libraries; archivists; scientists; nonprofit and civic organizations; and individual citizens. Reporters Committee, which has been a participant since the launch, officially joined ASNE as a leading partner in 2012.

Sunshine Week 2014 is made possible by an endowment from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and by donations from the Gridiron Club and Foundation.
