A series of broadcast and print public service ads featuring 13 actors, who are high-profile members of The Creative Coalition, speaking about the importance of open and accountable government has been produced for Sunshine Week, March 16-22, and can be used throughout the election season in conjunction with the Sunshine Campaign.

The PSAs were developed by the Radio-Television News Directors Association and Foundation, and the American Society of Newspaper Editors, in cooperation with The Creative Coalition, with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Appearing in the ads are Barry Bostwick, Connie Britton, Saffron Burrows, James Eckhouse, Louis Gossett Jr., Sharon Lawrence, Camryn Manheim, Izabella Miko, Andy Milder, Ron Rifkin, Richard Schiff, Judy Tenuta and Joan Van Ark.

The broadcast ads are being distributed by ABC, CNN, CBS, Fox, NBC, Telemundo and Univision to their affiliates. Information on how to download broadcast-quality versions of the television ads and the radio versions is on RTNDA's Sunshine Week Web page.
