This year's weeklong celebration of open government and freedom of information, under the administration of ASNE and its partner, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, came to a successful closure Saturday, March 19. The 11th anniversary, Sunshine Week 2016 was another impressive and fruitful year with not only hundreds of participants and their high-impact work, but also the constant social media buzz that shared the sunshine everywhere in the nation. Thanks for all your time and efforts!

Sunshine Week is a national celebration of access to public information that ASNE launched in 2005 to coincide with the March 16 birthday of James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution and a key advocate of the Bill of Rights.
