Historia
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Shirika lisilo la kifaida la "Media Institute", linalopatikana Arlington, Virginia, lilianzisha wazo la wiki ya uhuru wa maoni mwaka 2003. Wazo likiwa ni katika kukuza mpango wa "Cornerstone Project", mpango wa kwanza wa mabadiliko ulikamilika mwaka 2003.
Mwaka 2005, waliiomba taasisi ya "National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation" (NABEF) kuungana pamoja ili kuikamilisha wiki hiyo. Baadaye asasi nyingine mbili zikaomba pia kuungana katika kuikamilisha wiki hiyo ya uhuru wa maoni .”[2]
Mwaka 2005 walisherehekea miaka mitano ya kuungana na kufanya kazi pamoja kama asasi tano ambazo ni "American Association of Advertising Agencies", "American Bar Association", "Americans for the Arts", [["National Constitution Center" katika jiji la Philadelphia, na "National Endowment for the Humanities".
Tangu mwaka 2005 asasi hizo zimekuwa zikishirikiana na kampuni za habari na makampuni mengine kama magazeti katika kuitangaza wiki hiyo, vyuo vingine vya sheria vimekuwa pia vikishirikiana nao katika kuitimiza siku hii.
Mwaka 2011 jina lilifupishwa na kuwa "Wiki ya Maoni Huru".”[3] Asasi nyingine zilitengeneza mabaraza ya kishauri mwaka 2012 ili kuitiliza nguvu zaidi wiki hiyo. Tarehe 30 Julai 2012, Robert Pittman, mkurugenzi wa "Clear Channel" na "Communications Inc"., alitangaza kukubali kuwa mwenyekiti wa baraza la ushauri la wiki ya uhuru wa maoni.[4][5]
