Civic Minded, a new blog on the broad impact the Internet is having on politics, advocacy, and civic engagement, launches today. Authored by four leading observers of the topic, Civic Minded will explore the practical applications, real-world lessons, and tactical issues that are changing the way campaigns are run, people of like-minded interests organize, and groups take action.

The authors, all of whom are well known personalities in the field: Alexandra Samuel, Steven Clift, Stephen Coleman and Marnie Webb. It's an interesting and important topic for Corante to cover and we're thrilled they're coming aboard to help us all stay abreast of related developments, notable experiments, and the tools and methods that are enabling citizens to better shape the debates they care about and participate in their governments.
