Blogshine Sunday, March 13: SAY SOMETHING

[PDittie]

On March 13, 2005, news organizations across America will participate in "Sunshine Sunday" by running stories supporting access to government information. This freedom of information is vital to our democracy. That's why FreeCulture.org has organized "Blogshine Sunday" on the same day: to ensure that government remains accessible to tomorrow's journalists.

We recognize that technology is changing journalism. On Blogshine Sunday, we affirm:

In an increasingly wired society, government documents need to be digital and online, not just buried in archives.
"Professional" journalists are not the only people who deserve access to our government -- everyone does.

If these topics mean something to you, please join us on March 13. Write in your blog about how they've affected you.

This is important, people.

Say something, and say it loud enough so that everyone hears it.
