About
Global Voices Online is a non-profit global citizens’ media project, sponsored by and launched from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School.
How Global Voices Works:
A growing number of bloggers around the world are emerging as “bridge bloggers:” people who are talking about their country or region to a global audience. Global Voices is your guide to the most interesting conversations, information, and ideas appearing around the world on various forms of participatory media such as blogs, podcasts, photo sharing sites, and videoblogs.
Our global team of regional blogger-editors is working to find, aggregate and track these conversations. Each day they link to 5-10 of the most interesting blog posts from their regions in the “daily roundups” section. A larger group of contributing bloggers is posting daily features in in the left-hand Weblog section, shedding light on what blogging communities in their countries have been talking about recently.

Is this something we might contribute to as bwp?

This is a wonderful site, which I mentioned to Jeannine yesterday during a wonderful coffee visit! I use it extensively with my students of Russian, allowing them to read translations/find pointers to Russian-language blogs. Blog reading brings out an interest and motivation in my students that is really quite strong!
Now that having been said, and as I told Jeannine, blog-based texts are as complex as they are personal, and do pose some challenges for second language readers, but the result is worth the work/wait!

This is how I envision BWP communicating and keeping people in the loop about us. Let's all take a look and see what we can use with our site?
Let's get out there!
