Public notices are usually provided in the form of a document when
something is about to be done or recently has been done by
government. For about two hundred years these notices have often
taken the form of legal notices placed as classified ads in
newspapers. With the onset of social media, government as well as
personal information can be accessed at a push of a button for all
to see. This book addresses the kinds of changes that public notice
and published public records have experienced as governments around
the world try to accommodate the digital formats for information
and World Wide Web publishing, as well as presenting historical and
legal underpinnings for the broader claim of a public requirement
to be informed about government. While there is concern that
government information on the web will fall prey to pranks and
misuse, the author argues that it is possible to reduce this risk
by looking carefully at the intent of public notice and the history
of democratic evolution. The book concludes with recommendations
for smoothing the transition from a paper-based world of records to
an environment of speed and virtual portability.
