Center_for_Civic_Media
The MIT Center for Civic Media (formerly the Center for Future Civic Media) was a research and practical center that developed and implemented tools that supported political action and "the information needs of [civic] communities".[1] Its mission read in part:
- The MIT Center for Civic Media creates and deploys technical and social tools that fill the information needs of communities.
- We are inventors of new technologies that support and foster civic media[2] and political action; we are a hub for the study of these technologies; and we coordinate community-based test beds both in the United States and internationally.[3]
At the end of August, 2020, the Center for Civic Media closed down.[4]
