Writers Wanted
I offered to post this for Micah Sifry who's launching an interesting site on politics and technology and is particularly keen on getting women writers for his new effort.
Personal Democracy Forum, a new online resource focusing on the intersection of technology and politics, is seeking contributors for its website, blog and newsletter. We're looking for seasoned journalists versed, ideally, in both the political and technology industries who are interested in covering a wide range of subjects, including: how the Internet is moving votes, money and perceptions; the digital political industry; tools and techniques of clued-in campaigns; and emergent technology-enabled democracy. Political or business journalism background a plus but not required. We're looking for 800- to 1500-word features as well as shorter blog entries on ongoing beats. Will pay competitive freelance rates.Send resume, clips, blog info, etc to Micah L. Sifry at micah@personaldemocracy.com
Here's a link to our "manifesto"
