Letters on Open Government Published Online

Sunshine Week and PublishaLetter.com — a new Web site that helps people submit letters to the editors of newspapers around the world — have partnered to give the public an opportunity to write letters in an online round-table about open government issues.

Unlike the other submissions to PublishaLetter.com, this is not a typical letter to the editor process, but instead will operate as an online forum dedicated to open government. Letters will be linked under a special "Sunshine Week" icon for PublishaLetter.com readers, and there also will be a link from the Sunshine Week Web site.

PublishaLetter.com was founded to enable people to not only more easily comment on news issues, but also to post those letters online regardless of whether they are published elsewhere. While the site does not edit the content, it does screen for mass mailings, commercial offerings, gratuitous self-promotion, libel and similarly inappropriate content. To write a letter to the editor of a publication, users must go through the regular PublishaLetter.com submission process.

To get started, follow the links on the PublishaLetter.com home page, or click here to submit a letter or click here to read current postings.
