The San Diego Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists is proud to present to Max Branscomb its Sunshine Award for his years of “extraordinary effort in supporting the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, the cornerstone of our democracy.”
Sunshine Week reminds us of the importance of open access; of shining a light into government secrecy and for reminding the public of their right to government information.

National Sunshine Week has been celebrated every March since 2005, thanks to the work of the American Society of News Editors. Participants include print, broadcast and online news media, civics groups, non-profits, schools and libraries.

Please join us to honor Dr. Branscomb at the law offices of ShepardMullin, hosted by SPJ board member Guylyn Cummins. The date is March 25th
