I've been thinking a lot about how BlogHer can work harder every day to build a global stage for people to listen to women at a virtual open mike. And now that the newspapers I so love are truly evolving (or, yes, imploding, depending upon your perspective), I think there's an opportunity to evolve ourselves.
As you may know, BlogHer's mission is to create exposure for superb blogging by women. Each week, we'll select a blog post to celebrate, writing so exceptional that we think it's BlogHer's highest calling to highlight the blogger and her post across our network of 2,500 blogs and on BlogHer.com.
To find these posts, we would love your help and advice: Will you join us in this effort and nominate the best writing you find online? We've provided a Web form where you can recommend a post for our review - yours included!
Here's what we are looking for: Writing so good that BlogHer tells everyone to stop typing for just ten minutes and ponder the brilliance of the writer. That's right, the brilliance. Because the exceptional writing we read every day on blogs by women amazes us, and we want to share what we learn. BlogHer Voice of the Week posts can be:
- About any topic - hard news or soft, from Gaza to handbags
- Written, produced and/or drawn within the past 30-60 days
- May be blogged via text, illustration, audio, or video. English only please.
- From any blog (this one included) and/or site that accepts comments by readers at the individual article level
- Blogged according to our community guidelines
Let me be clear: This is not a popularity contest. BlogHer Voice of the Week is not designed as link-bait for BlogHer.com. We are not interested in developing some kind of awards system. We're not doing this merely to drive traffic to BlogHer.com, although we will certainly consider posts from BlogHer.com because women are writing amazing things on this site too.
Instead, BlogHer Voice of the Week is one more way in which when you say it, we share it. We want to acknowledge the power of the superb writing that we see on blogs by women every day -- pieces like this, this, this and this.
And with those examples -- bring on the new links! We're excited to share them around and celebrate your blogs. So...who should we consider this week?
Best,
Lisa
