Data Expert Calls for Congress to Act on Open Data Policies
Joshua New, a specialist from the Center for Data Innovation, recently appeared on C-SPAN's Washington Journal to discuss open data and government transparency. New, who is known for his work on federal open data policies, based his discussion on a recent article he published in The Hill.
New's appearance on the show comes as part of a broader conversation about the state of open data in the federal government. In his article, titled 'Why Is Federal Government News Disappearing?', New explores the challenges facing open data initiatives under the current administration.
During his discussion, New emphasized the need for Congress to step in and write federal open data policies into law. He criticized the Trump administration for not making open data a priority, highlighting that the lack of clear policies has led to news disappearing from public view.
New's call for stronger open data policies comes at a time when access to federal news is increasingly important. With Congress yet to act on the issue, it remains to be seen how the new administration will approach open data policy.
