In recognition of Sunshine Week, SABEW’s First Amendment Committee encourages the public to speak up for a free flow of government data and press access to government experts.
The past year has been marked by dramatically reduced availability of government data, not just on the economy but also on health care, education and immigration.
Information is the lifeblood of a functioning democracy and we stand with other journalism organizations in support of unrestricted access to information to assist our audiences in making informed choices about their lives and the future.
SABEW is the largest association of business journalists. The nonprofit organization advocates for the protection of the First Amendment and a free press.
