websites for civic renewal
Along the right-hand column of this page, I've been running automated excerpts from blogs about civic renewal. Below is a list of these blogs, including some exciting newcomers. All these sites provide a high dose of news and information (along with some commentary and opinion) and emphasize civic work of various kinds:
Civic Mission of Schools blog, with the daily news on civic education and youth service, provided in part by CIRCLE graduate assistant Gary Homana. Smart Communities, a blog by the President of the Pew Partnership for Civic Change, Suzanne Morse The Public Journalism Network Blog: keeping alive the spirit of public or civic journalism The National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation's news page, for practical work on public deliberation International Civic Engagement blog from Park University Public Engagement, a blog by the University of Minnesota's Associate VP for Public Engagement, Victor Bloomfield Silver in Seattle, by David Silver, guru of online civic work Otherwise Engaged by Alexandra Samuel: "Every blogger's guide to civic engagement. Every citizen's guide to blogging." Democracy LABlog, with Lars Hasselblad Torres' "updates from the field"
