Bloggers are special.
A jumble of slanted, shouting voices have overcome our airwaves, infiltrated our newspapers, filled every corner of our waking lives, and they aren't going to stop. It's affecting all of us. You may have noticed that every argument seems just a little more heated than the last--is it any surprise, when each one of has been listening just a little bit less? It's a sign of more to come.
But now, people are listening to bloggers instead. Blogging is the populist response to the media hegemony: a sea of independent voices.
ChangeThis is aiming to disrupt the media pattern with powerful, rational arguments from leading thinkers. We know that we deserve better than what we've got. We know there's a thoughtful, caring, rational human inside every one of us. We're working with the brightest minds we can find. And we believe that bloggers are crucial to changing the tone of our collective dialogue.
To get involved, start by subscribing to our blogger newsletter to get the prerelease of the latest batch of manifestos every 2 weeks. If you like one, post about it. If a manifesto goes nowhere and strikes you the wrong way, post about it. The goal isn’t to get positive reviews, but to spread the ideas and give people a chance to consider them.
You can post excerpts of the manifestos. And if you want to host the PDF file on your blog, contact us and we’ll list your blog as a source for downloading on the landing page.
Blogs are more than just news headlines. If you have a post, a series of posts, or a best of list that would work as a manifesto, send it over.
Without bloggers as the catalyst, manifesto will never take hold and spread. ChangeThis needs your help to make this work.
