Sunshine for blogs this Sunday

International student activist group FreeCulture.org invites bloggers everywhere to participate in "Blogshine Sunday" on March 13. The event will run parallel to "Sunshine Sunday," a U.S. news media fest wherein the mainstream runs stories and editorials supporting public access to government information. Blogshine will be a day for bloggers across the globe to bring their own experiences with obtaining access to government documents into the sunlight.
?Blogshine Sunday is about preserving the right of all citizens, not just credentialed journalists, to observe the workings of their government. Whether local council meetings or federal advisory committees, the activity of public officials should be clear and visible to ordinary people,? writes Blogshine director Gavin Baker.
The event will spotlight digital access to records, an important topic to traditional journalists and bloggers alike.
