Fourth Annual

Sunshine Sunday

March 13, 2005

Because of the positive response from its public awareness campaign last year, the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors (FSNE) is conducting a fourth annual Sunshine Sunday event.

Nationally, Sunshine Sunday has grown into Sunshine Week. The American Society of Newspaper Editors heard from Florida editors about the success of the event and is asking newspapers nationwide to raise awareness from March 13-19 about open government and records access. Read AP story.
