>Dear Colleagues,
>
>I am pleased to announce the publication of a new report, "Civil
>Technologies: The Values of Nonprofit ICT Use," which was authored by
>Ken Jordan and Mark Surman with generous funding from the Ford
>Foundation. This report is the last in a series of three major reports on
>the Internet, governance and civil society that were published by the ITIC
>program.
>
>The report explores exemplary instances of nonprofit ICT adoption by civil
>society groups from around the world, and draws attention to ways the
>values of civil society are reinforced and extended through their use of
>digital tools. It is informed by eleven interviews exploring the specific
>ICT implementations that had a significant, positive impact on the
>operations of civil society groups. These include: Advocacy Project
>eHomemakers.net (Malaysia), Fantsuam Foundation (Nigeria), Front Line
>Defenders (Ireland), Brian Fitzgerald, Greenpeace, Interfaith Project, The
>Center for a New American Dream, New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA),
>Planned Parenthood, Ruckus Society, St. Christopher House (Canada). The
>report is available for download at: http://www.ssrc.org/programs/itic/
>
>Thanks again for your ongoing interest in SSRC programs on media,
>democracy and the public sphere. For a list of ongoing programs in this
>area, please see: http://www.ssrc.org/program_areas/mdps/
