Week starting March 13 is Sunshine Sunday-Sunshine Week

The week of March 13, newspapers will have a chance to make an endorsement with a proven track record of stirring citizens to action.

For the first time, the highly successful "Sunshine Sunday" editorial page campaign begun by Florida newspapers is going national, and multimedia.

During "Sunshine Sunday-Sunshine Week," newspapers, broadcasters and news Web sites around the nation will confront the growing secrecy in government — and remind citizens of how much they are losing when public documents and decision-making meetings are hidden from them.

These access issues will be the subjects of editorials, cartoons, Op-Ed commentaries, and news articles.Organized by the American Society of Newspaper Editors and supported by more than 50 news organizations and industry associations, "Sunshine Sunday-Sunshine Week" is a long-overdue national response to the growing climate of government secrecy.
