Year 2 had a brilliant time investigating which materials were waterproof or not. Some of the siblings were fantastic assistants to! #SunshineandScience #ShinewithyourSiblings

What are @AnnElizabeth18, @LFFriedman, and @emilyhholden thankful for? Good editors, federal employees who find ways to get information out, and people who take a chance on working with reporters. #SunshineandScience
A huge thank you to @emilyhholden, @LFFriedman, and @AnnElizabeth18 for being so generous with their time. Big thanks, too, to @halpsci for moderating our discussion tonight. And thanks to everyone for tuning in/following along! #SunshineAndScience
That’s all folks. Thanks for following along. Make sure to follow @SunWebIntegrity, @SunFoundation, and @UCSUSA for updates on transparency & science. Read @LFFriedman, @AnnElizabeth18, and @emilyhholden’s stories. Until next time, @GovAcctProj is signing off #SunshineandScience
In a media ecosystem overflowing with information, getting your audience to care about the most important stories can be a challenge, says @emilyhholden. Audience Engagement editors can help with crafting a strong headline, which is critical. #sunshineandscience #sunshineweek
“A few of phrases I would like to permanently ban: extreme weather... emission,” says @emilyhholden. The point: language in journalism should be accessible to its audience #SunshineandScience
Normally, you wouldn’t cover what a climate skeptic says, but when it’s a @potus, you handle it differently, says @LFFriedman, in response to my question about how to report on @realDonaldTrump lying about #climatechange. https://t.co/SLPQuDNYEN #SunshineAndScience #sunshineweek
Asked by an audience member how one covers high profile "lies," like climate change denialism from @realDonaldTrump, @LFFriedman says "it's a daily conversation, and it's a story-by-story conversation." #SunshineAndScience
“How do we cover lies? It’s a daily question that we have,” says @LFFriedman on the challenge of covering overt fabrications/ misrepresentations #SunshineandScience
At #SunshineandScience, @AnnElizabeth18 described standing outside the door of @epa going over open meeting laws with government lawyers, despite access concerns, & finally getting in. The meetings the next day were closed the next day. #opengov in the Trump era. #SunshineWeek
.@AnnElizabeth18 says that she often needs to remind herself to keep pushing for access in Washington, where opacity is a given. "Why can't I talk to the scientist that wrote this report?" #SunshineAndScience
Sociologist & former accountability specialist at @UNDP says there’s naïveté at #SunshineandScience. Panel of journalists isn’t grappling with fundamental regime change in culture & attitude towards the public’s right to know & culture in this administration. Lots of public anger
The challenge with conflicts of interest is the “smoking gun,” says @AnnElizabeth18. You need evidence of undue influence. @LFFriedman agrees: hard to prove illegality.

Aggressive FOIA has probably been the most helpful tool in reporting on this administration, says @LFFriedman. But there are limits. No one includes maniacal, conspiratorial laughter in their emails #SunshineAndScience
For a smoking gun, you need a “FOIA or a whistleblower,” says @AnnElizabeth18. She says that’s the challenge. #SunshineandScience
Have you been able to cover conflicts of interest well? Have you been missing stories? “Yes, we’ve been able to report well and yes, we’re probably missing things.” @LFFriedman #SunshineandScience
Both @AnnElizabeth18 & @LFFriedman say nongovernmental organizations blogging about what complex policies or rules mean helps inform their reporting. #opengov advocates: please narrate your work in public! Your analysis really matters for informing the public. #SunshineandScience
@LFFriedman observes that, when reporters ask to talk to a scientist, the response from PR officials is often "not no, but delay delay delay, and hope that it eventually becomes irrelevant" as journalists' tight deadlines force them to move on. #sunshineweek #sunshineandscience
“The pattern that I see is not a refusal to connect a reporter with a scientist... but there’s a delay,” @LFFriedman, “[the] pattern that reporters saw was delay, delay, delay.” #SunshineandScience
