[edit] Public’s rights are the focus

"Sunshine Week, which began Sunday, is an annual effort to shed light on the ongoing fight for transparency at every level of government.

Often, when newspapers write about trying to gain access to public records or public meetings, we focus on what we are trying to see.

As a result, there may be a misconception that this is a fight that belongs to the news media. In reality, though, the fight is for the public, any member of which should be able to gain access to records and meetings that are public."
