Increasingly governments around the world are experimenting with
initiatives in transparency or 'open government'. These involve a
variety of measures including the announcement of more
user-friendly government websites, greater access to government
data, the extension of freedom of information legislation and
broader attempts to involve the public in government decision
making. However, the role of the media in these initiatives has not
hitherto been examined. This volume analyses the challenges and
opportunities presented to journalists as they attempt to hold
governments accountable in an era of professed transparency. In
examining how transparency and open government initiatives have
affected the accountability role of the press in the US and the UK,
it also explores how policies in these two countries could change
in the future to help journalists hold governments more
accountable. This volume will be essential reading for all
practising journalists, for students of journalism or politics, and
for policymakers.
