This article presents a brief history of the development of ideas about national and organizational information policies, from the first establishment of a UK Ministry of Information in the First WorldWar to the present day. The issues and tensions that have characterized attempts to develop and implement policies on the national and organizational scale are discussed, with particular reference to: the power relations between the parties to them; the relative significance accorded to information technology and information content; the transition from formulating policy to acting on it; and the threats to the survival of those policies that get as far as implementation. In conclusion, the contribution to date of information science to the theory and practice of information policies is assessed, and suggestions are offered on directions for future efforts, in the light of the past of this interesting field.

“…For example, in Moore (2002) (Muir and Oppenheim 2002a, 2002b, 2002c, 2002d on national information policies did not employ the matrix. Rowlands, Eisenschitz and Bawden (2002) recommend the use of frame theory for exploring the values underpinning policy making rather than mentioning the matrix, but this approach would be a method of analysis that could be compatible with use of the matrix.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine Nick Moore’s information policy matrix and how it has been used by Moore and others. Design/methodology/approach This study involved secondary search and a bibliographic study of the impact Moore’s work has had on other authors. Findings It is clear that there have been two quite separate trains of research in information policy, one in the USA and one in Europe, and that it appears from the literature that there is limited awareness of each other’s work. Focusing on the UK and European research, the papers the authors inspected that report information policy analyses make no mention of Moore’s work. It could be argued that Moore’s matrix is too simplistic for such a complex topic as information policy, but it may also be the case that there is a lack of awareness of how the matrix can be used in policy analysis as Moore’s published papers were general descriptions of the matrix, reported the findings of his analyses or suggested policy goals. Moore did not publish theoretical or methodological papers to explain how to go about policy analysis using his matrix. Research limitations/implications This study is based on secondary research and bibliographic analysis. Furthermore, primary research could have revealed deeper insights into use and impact of Moore’s framework by analysts and policy makers. Originality/value The paper highlights potential opportunities for international collaboration on information policy research, to explore more deeply theoretical models that could be used to underpin policy analysis as well as the potential value of Moore’s matrix.

“…The legislation will give a statutory right of access to public information in any form. Typically there is also a right of appeal to an independent body against a public authority refusing access (Muir, 2002). FOI also includes the dissemination of information by public authorities on their own initiative.…”

The months of August and September 2003 have seen an unprecedented release of information about the internal workings of the UK government during the Hutton enquiry; thousands of documents have been placed on the enquiry website, including key emails and memos. These documents have not been released under the UK Freedom of Information Act (2000), because they are part of a judicial enquiry into the death of Dr David Kelly. However this has served as an important reminder to the UK public of the importance of information in holding public authorities to account.
