Sunshine Week Spanish Language working group formed.

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.
