About National Freedom of Information Day
Observed during Sunshine Week – so named for journalists in Florida, the Sunshine State, trying to prevent legislators from making public records more difficult to request – this is a day for the public and journalists to discuss their rights to public records.
Sunshine Week is in March to coincide with the birthday of President James Madison, an advocate for open government records.
