Sunshine Week
March 12-18, 2023
Make plans now to join the annual nationwide celebration of access to public information and what it means for you and your community. It’s your right to know.
Sunshine Week is set for March 12-18, 2023. We encourage you to write and share editorials, stories and columns about the importance of openness to your community. Please share your Sunshine Week articles, projects and events so we can help promote them.
Sunshine Week was launched in 2005 by the American Society of News Editors — now News Leaders Association — and has grown into an enduring initiative to promote open government and shine light into the dark recesses of government secrecy.
The News Leaders Association is partnering with The Society of Professional Journalists to host national Sunshine Week tools and resources.
