Stronger Open Meeting Law Backed by Wisconsin Media Group
Wisconsin's open meeting law should be strengthened, the Wisconsin All Media Freedom of Information Committee said after reestablishing at a Madison meeting. The panel urged support for a bill now before the legislature that would add penalties and enforcement to the statute, arguing that the public has a right to open government processes and a vigorous free press serves that goal. The committee includes The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, The Wisconsin Daily Newspaper League, The Wisconsin Press Photographers-Association, The Wisconsin Press Association, The Wisconsin Associated Press Association, The Wisconsin AP Broadcasters Association, United Press International, Sigma Delta Chi and Women in Communications.
