Forget the weather, this is Sunshine Week

Newsrooms across the country, including the newsroom at 101.7/WGOG, draw attention this week to the need for open government.  It’s Sunshine Week, and the day is celebrated tomorrow to honor the birthday of President James Madison, founder of the Bill of Rights.  To mark the occasion and to promote open access to government meetings and documents, two leading journalists will be the guests tomorrow on Jim Bohannon’s syndicated radio talk show.  National Freedom of Information Day was conceived by Bohannon, who is now a full-time Oconee County resident.
