“Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.”

-Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, “What Publicity Can Do”, Harper’s Weekly, 1913

“...Planners may, for example, either pinpoint key issues or bury them in data, verbiage, computer printouts, or irrelevant details…Citizens may be misled by false assurances of self-protecting agency staff, by technicians who claim to be neutral, or by established interests who deceptively claim to serve the greater good…By informing or misinforming citizens, power works through the management of comprehension, or obfuscation; of trust, or false assurance; of consent, or manipulated agreement; and of knowledge, or misrepresentation.”

-John Forester, “Planning in the Face of Power”, 1989
