"This Just In" piece on Sunshine Week, when media organizations draw attention to state and federal Freedom of Information laws. The Society of Professional Journalists, the Maine Press Association, and the Maine Association of Broadcasters all object to the Maine Department of Corrections' new policy attempting to block reporters from contacting inmates. The criticism is based primarily on a proposed revision of the prison's media-interview policy. The revision was drafted by Denise Lord, associate corrections commissioner, and Diane Sleek, assistant attorney general. Details.
