Civic Commons is a community devoted to building informed conversations and productive connections across Northeast Ohio, a place where talk can become action. We’re advocates of news, information and conversation that is credible, diverse, civil and transparent because we believe those characteristics are crucial ingredients when it comes to bringing people together to move forward on any issue. We take an entrepreneurial attitude towards civic engagement, experimenting with emerging forms of journalism, technology and interaction in general. We remain optimistic about the possibilities in our region going forward.
