The Question
Should the Obama administration implement a strong policy of openness and transparency?
Agenda For Change is a blog I created which follows Obama’s promise of a more transparent federal government and answer the social question listed above. Since transparency is my topic, I am making my research as transparent as possible. You can follow along and see the sources as I find and annotate them. This blog was for created for J410, an experimental class at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication which combines both informational gathering skills and new media dissemination. Although the class is soon over, I am going to continue to update the blog with sources, posts and insight into government transparency and its importance to democracy by creating a well-informed society that is willing and able to participate in the lawmaking process.
