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.
