This undated photo provided by Gannett in March 2017 shows Mizell Stewart III, president of the American Society of News Editors and Vice President/News Operations for Gannett and the USA TODAY Network. In an editorial written for 2017's Sunshine Week, Stewart writes, "Now, more than ever, Americans are urged to recognize the importance of open government to a robust democracy. Access to meetings, minutes and records of our elected and appointed representatives is a key element of the constitutional right to petition the government for redress of grievances. It is not strictly for the benefit of the news media." (Gannett via AP)
