Humanitarian organisations: Field blogs spread the message

In our primer series Blogging 101 – Starting a blog from scratch, I covered the topics non-profit organisations typically blog about.

I used the example of “field blogs” written by field staff posting project updates, pictures and video, as a good example how blogs can be used as an advocacy tool.

As examples are the best learning tools, here is the comprehensive list of field blogs I collected over the past two years.
