To elaborate on what Steve said...
If you do stories, don't forget to plug INBA and the efforts we're making to try to make a difference in the battle to keep government open. A link from your station's Web site to the INBA Web site would be a big boost. Let's not be greedy, though. Links to other groups working in this area would also be beneficial. Such groups include the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, RTNDA and SPJ.
Many of those who support the war effort underscore their feelings by reminding people that "freedom isn't free." The same is true here. We have to exercise our First Amendment right so it won't wither and die. Recent surveys have shown that a full 40 per cent of college students surveyed thought that the media should be curbed. That is scary. Promoting Sunshine Week, while underscoring the threats that await the American people if the media are muzzled, is one of the great services we can do for all of our viewer, listeners and readers, not to mention ourselves.
