Modern transparency dates to the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s-well before the Internet. Michael Schudson shows how the "right to know" has defined a new era for democracy-less focus on parties and elections, more pluralism and more players, year-round monitoring of government, and a blurring line between politics and society, public and private.
