CHICAGO A majority of Americans now consider
the federal government at least "somewhat secretive"--with more than
one in five saying it is "very secretive," according to a poll released
with the kickoff of Sunshine Week on Sunday.
The poll by the Scripps Survey Research Center was one
of two national polls released Sunday that found widespread support
among Americans for open government.
In the Scripps poll, which was requested by the
organizer of Sunshine Week, the American Society of Newspaper Editors
(ASNE), 62% of respondents said "public access to government records is
critical to the functioning of good government."

Project for Excellence in Journalism, to be released Monday, also
asserts that at many old media companies "the decades-long battle at
the top between idealists and accountants is now over. The idealists
have lost. " - March 12, 2006 5:40 PM ET
