Sunshine Week to expand reach to Hispanic Community
WASHINGTON— Eight leading journalists from across the country have
joined the Sunshine Week 2007 Spanish Language Working Group to promote the
importance of open government in the Hispanic community.
"As Sunshine Week continues to expand its connections, it's vital that we
ensure the message of access to government information and meetings be
communicated to everyone. Working closely with Spanish language media will
enable us to reach this essential audience, not only for awareness but also for
empowerment," remarked Patrick A. Yack, editor of the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville.
Yack co-chairs the American Society of Newspaper
Editors' Freedom of Information Committee with David Westphal, Washington
editor of McClatchy
Newspapers.
