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

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
