How effectively are we getting the open government message out? Is our call to the public proactive or largely reactive?

These are two questions we hope every journalist engaged in commentary and opinion writing has asked or will ask themselves. We believe that even a strong and positive response to both will be followed the acknowledgment, “It’s not enough.”

To help provoke new ideas for editorials, columns and op ed pieces, and new ways of looking at open government issues, we offer a selection of opinion pieces we’ve found in our surfing or that have been recommended to us. We’ll keep changing these to share fresh ideas and approaches. We hope you’ll find the selections below useful. If you read a commentary on FOI that you believe is effective, please share it with us. Send it, or the link, to cjog@cjog.net
