Sunlight Sparkles [1]
Submitted by Sheldon Rampton [2] on
PBS journalist Mark Glaser has written a laudatory article featuring the Sunlight Foundation [3], which cosponsors our own Congresspedia [4] project on SourceWatch [5], along with numerous other citizen journalism [6] projects such as their exposing earmarks [7] campaign. Glaser calls Sunlight a "shining example of independent citizen action ... The group has had far-reaching success not only in making Congress more accountable to the people they are supposed to serve, but also in creating bi-partisan fervor in the blogosphere for reform on Capitol Hill. Though the Foundation’s grants and projects, average citizens have been given the tools and resources to make a difference."
