An invitation to join DIGITALDIVIDE:
A discussion list on bridging the digital divide

As part of its ongoing commitment to exploring new ways of bridging the
digital divide, the Benton Foundation's Communications Policy Program would
like to invite you to join the DIGITALDIVIDE listserv. DIGITALDIVIDE is a
moderated discussion in which citizens can discuss the wide range of issues
related to bridging the digital divide. The listserv, which currently
includes over 1900 members from around the world, cuts across disciplinary
boundaries: community activists, educators, researchers, representatives of
commercial and nonprofit enterprises, volunteers, students and concerned
citizens are all encouraged to take part in this online discussion.

The listserv tackles the digital divide from a variety of angles, that
include (but are not limited to) the following subjects:

-    technology access issues;
-    content creation for underserved populations and communities;
-    combating illiteracy in its many forms;
-    online diversity;
-    economic development and workforce issues;
-    community building;
-    the Internet and cultural diversity;
-    digital divide news and events;
-    education and training;
-    best practices from local, national and international Digital Divide
efforts;
-    obstacles to bridging the Digital Divide;
-    new tools for measuring the Divide;
-    public/private and commercial/nonprofit partnerships;
-    public policy issues


DIGITALDIVIDE is moderated by veteran listserv facilitator Andy Carvin,
Senior Associate at the Benton Foundation.
