Ohio Sunshine Summit

Ohio Sunshine Summit Student journalists fighting for access and transparency on Ohio's campuses This is a place for YOU.

Your one-stop shop for resources to ensure your rights as a student, a journalist and a resident of the Buckeye State are respected. Whether you're an editor-in-chief, reporter, student, professor or just interested in media law, this is the place for you. Share stories you run about access and transparency, ask questions about what is and isn't public information and get support from your colleag

ues across the state when you run into trouble. Across the Buckeye State, there is hostility toward journalists-in-training by our higher education system. A 2006 audit shows nearly 60 percent of basic public records were unavailable to student journalists on Ohio campuses. With tough budget and personal decisions on the horizon, the time for transparency is now.
