Open Government by Danny Rogers, Jun 19, 2008 (7:01pm)

The specific changes in this bill seem to relate to journalists with no specific institutional ties, so basically bloggers. If that is the case, then it is a necessary step to ensure that less established news sources can have access to government, and thus provide a different perspective from mainstream media into the workings of our government.
