Media and Democracy in the Digital Information Age
	In Media and Democracy in the Digital Information Age (PDF), Mark Cooper takes an in depth look at strategies for promoting a diversity of voices in an age of media consolidation.

Mind map of social software
	Tom Smith has developed a mind map of social software (PDF), which he defines in this case as "software that enables a new form of group interaction that then alters the behavior of the group and the individual". This is the sort of thinking that helps us plan new strategies for organizing people around the causes we support. Posted: 11/6/03; 1:40:42 PM #

US Will Deny Aid to Countries That Refuse Court Immunity
	When I published my piece in opposition to the war in Iraq, I was criticised by some readers for having no compassion for the Iraqi people.

NP Action

I'm impressed by a few of the resources I have discovered at OMB Watch's NP Action site supporting capacity building for nonprofit advocacy. But I find the interface confusing, I'm really not sure if I am finding the best stuff, and I wish there were some system (email, RSS feed) for notifying me of new content. Maybe it's there and I just can't find it. I know they are doing some interesting aggregation. Posted: 11/6/03; 1:39:41 PM #
