he Civic Commons made it clear from the get-go: to join our community and participate in the conversations you couldn’t be an anonymous poster. No “lawmiss25,” or “followthemoney,” or even “tribefan.” You know, stuff we see on most message boards. We insisted that you introduce yourself, and tell us a little bit about you. Well, this has proven to be a lively and transparent conversation in the Commons (http://www.theciviccommons.com/conversations/whats-the-cost-of-complete-transparency). So much so that we decided to build a podcast around it.
Join Dan, Luke and Noelle for a look at transparency and anonymity. We talk to a couple of grizzled newspaper editors from Youngstown about what they think of postings on www.vindy.com Then Commoners Nancy Reeves and Dan Stefancik share their thoughts about participation in our on-line community. Finally we hear from Megan O’Bryan, President and CEO of the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center about the anonymity issues in her world.
