[OpenSpending] How to check your government isn't spending your taxes on advertising: Lessons from Mexico.

Tue Oct 2 13:59:11 UTC 2012

The topic of spotting how much of taxpayers' money gets spent on
government PR has crept up a couple of times over my conversations
with organisations around the world in Romania, now in Mexico...

Fundar have kindly put together a blog post with some key
lessons-learned from their 'Publicidad Oficial' (Official Advertising)
project for anyone else starting such a campaign.

Keen to know of other organisations working in this area around the
world? This topic may be used as a briefing in some mini-tipsheets for
data journalists so would be great to know if everyone is experiencing
similar issues!
