As Blogshine Sunday draws to close here on the East Coast, I’ll close with some more examples of what folks are saying:

nadezhda at chez Nadezhda chimes in with her excellent thoughts on bloggers’ relationship to Sunshine Week and freedom of information:

The public’s access to information and — equally important — how information intermediaries and consumers choose to use that information, ought to be a major focus of the blogosphere of “ideas,” whether politics or science and technology, medicine, environment, social services, law and law enforcement, labor relations, financial services, education, you name it. For the great majority of blogs that aren’t engaged directly in electoral politics or who don’t see themselves competing with “journalists,” the ability to access the vast amount of information that federal, state and local governments have collected, analyzed and archived is far more important than the debates over “who is a journalist” and whether/how blogs will be regulated if they support partisan activities. read the full entry

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the massive coverage of Sunshine Sunday, the parallel and inspiration for Blogshine Sunday. A sampling is available at Sunshine Week. In particular, I like this editorial cartoon from the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Thanks to everyone who participated. Pat yourselves on the back for standing up for open government! Let your elected officials know how you feel — and that you won’t stand for anything less.
