Blogging in the Public Sector

This blog was created as tool to help fellow bloggers and researchers identify blogs being utilized in the public sector blogs. Blogs are currently being used in the private sector as outreach and management tools, however, are only beginning to be employed in the public sector. Blogs provide unelected public managers a unique opportunity to interact with the citizens they serve. Public sector blogs have the potential to:

1.) Improve civic engagement
2.) Improve accountability in public offices
3.) Improve transparency in public offices
4.) Provide public managers unfiltered access to the public they serve

This blog will profile active public management blogs as well as discuss the uses and implications of blogging on the public sector. Thanks for visiting!
