 The Creative Commons "approach is consistent with [their] main goal of amplifying the voices of bloggers around the world."

-Launched by Berkman Fellows Rebecca MacKinnon and Ethan Zuckerman, the Global Voices project draws on an international team of bloggers who monitor online conversations pertaining to, and occurring in their regions.  Operationally, the organization works through six regional editors: from the Middle East and North Africa; Sub-Saharan Africa; South Asia; East Asia; the Americas; and Eastern Europe, Russia, Caucasus and Central Asia.  Feeds are summarized and distilled on a daily basis, and key bloggers are interviewed to provide diverse and geographically dispersed perspectives.  Materials are translated into Bangla, Spanish, Farsi, French, Portuguese, Chinese (simplified and traditional), and will soon be available in German, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic, and Malagasy.

 Seeking representative samples of Internet reportage, Global Voices approaches prominent regional members in the blogosphere as emerging leaders in their local communities to contribute to the site.  In the words of founder Ethan Zuckerman, this is ‘someone who is already a good blogger, already has a readership, already has an understanding of the communities they’re dealing with.’  Global Voices encourages direct contact with the contributors to the site, particularly from news organisations interested in the stories provided.

 [http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/  Global Voices Online] is an award-winning non-profit project founded in 2004 by the [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ Berkman Center for Internet and Society], Harvard Law School.  The project’s goal has been to redress the inequities in media attention by leveraging the power of ‘citizens’ media’.  This is achieved by aggregating online materials, such as wikis, weblogs, podcasts, tags, and online chats, thereby drawing attention to the conversations – the ‘global voices’ – which have hitherto gone unheard.  The project works to develop tools, to establish institutions, and to foster relationships in parts of the world where opinion is rarely sought.
