The Sunshine in Government Initiative, of which AAN is a member, is today releasing recommendations for developing the independent Office of Government Information Services within the National Archives and Records Administration. The recommendations, which can be seen in full on the SGI website, focus on ways the Archives can effectively provide fair, authoritative mediation services as a way of giving the public an alternative to costly litigation to resolve FOIA disputes.
The Sunshine in Government Initiative (SGI) yesterday presented its 2008 Sunshine Award to Representatives Rick Boucher of Virginia and Mike Pence of Indiana for their commitment and work to strengthen open government. "Boucher and Pence have strongly pushed for a federal shield law to protect a reporter's sources," the SGI release says. "Under their leadership shield legislation has gone much farther than ever through the halls of Congress." The legislation, the Free Flow of Information Act, was passed by the House and the Senate Judiciary Committee last October, but has since languished, waiting to be called to the Senate floor for a vote.
Back in 1982, Press editor David Blum -- who was then a Wall Street Journal reporter -- was part of a team that published the one-off satire Off the Wall Street Journal, and now he and the Press have published the sequel: My Wall Street Journal, which is published "in honor of Rupert Murdoch's ever-expanding media empire." The project brings Murdoch's tabloid sensibilities to the legendary paper, with results like a full-page spread of a bare-breasted Ann Coulter; a gossip section entitled "Page Sex;" and headlines such as "Cleaning Lady Sees Virgin in Merrill-Lynch Q4 Loss." The team also produced a fake YouTube video of Murdoch reacting to My Wall Street Journal. Read more from the New York Times and Editor & Publisher.
