Sarah Granger : MyBlogHer Profile

As a BlogHer Contributing Editor for politics and news, I'm excited to have been a part of the BlogHer community now for over five years. For the 2010 election, I served as BlogHer's Interim Political Director.

I first entered the blogosphere in 2002 from behind the scenes when I directed the launch of the first presidential exploratory campaign blog. In addition to politics, I have blogged about a wide range of topics including technology, parenting and fashion, and I'm a big fan of the community here at BlogHer. I have helped launch over a dozen blogs, and I have my own blog-columns at The Huffington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle at SFGate.com. I was a speaker at BlogHer '07 in Second Life, I attended BlogHer '08, and I spoke on a panel at BlogHer '10.

Blogs where I have contributed include the Silicon Valley Moms Blog, the Real Simple Blog, the Political Voices of Women, ecofabulous, MOMocrats, Vivanista, the WomenCount Blog, the Emerge Blog, the Fem 2.0 blog, the Personal Democracy Forum, and GovFresh. My work has also been published in Spectrum magazine, Digital Landing, Forbes Russia, Bay Area Parent magazine, The Sacramento Bee newspaper, Security Focus, NBC Bay Area, WSJ.com and MSNBC.com. I have also contributed to three books and edited five.

When not writing, I advise organizations on how to use new media, including blogs and social networks. I also work on policy issues on various committees - topics including technology, media, health, education, national security and the environment. I speak regularly at conferences and have been a source for a variety of media outlets including "Good Morning America", CBS News, PBS.org, NPR, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. I serve on the U.S. public policy committee for the Association for Computing Machinery, and I have previously been active in a wide range of community organizations, local and statewide committees.
