General shout-out to the Sunlight Foundation
by Margot | October 8, 2009 | First Amendment, KLAMP, Open Access | Comments Off
The Sunlight Foundation is committed to exactly the kind of transparency principles that journalism traditionally serves. Their projects include: compiling a list of people seeking tax breaks on imports from Congress; building a completely indexed and cross-referenced depository of federal documents; running the numbers on sources of Congressional wealth; opening bills to online, public review.
“The Sunlight Foundation is a non-partisan non-profit dedicated to using the power of the Internet to catalyze greater government openness and transparency.”
