The Atlanta (Ga.) Journal-Constitution featured profiles of eight local open government heroes – four private citizens and four public officials – who “are shining a light on government.” Each individual was featured in a short profile in the paper’s Sunday @issue section, which also featured cut-outs on how to file federal and state FOIA requests. On the same Sunday, The Journal-Constitution devoted two full pages to “The laws at work,” a feature on important news stories developed using open records laws. The centerpiece was a story about Atlanta’s bid for the NASCAR hall of fame, the details of which city officials tried to keep under wraps. The newspaper also ran a front-page story about the governor’s uneven record on openness and offered an editorial arguing for an amendment to the state constitution that would strengthen the Open Records Act. During Sunshine Week 2006, the Journal-Constitution also launched a Web site called Your Internet Watchdog that connects readers to government documents and other information.
