There’s no shortage of content on the interwebs for us to consume. We can get our daily dose of news, laughter, tear-jerkers and thought-leadership pieces from so many sources.
But one of my favorite platforms for reading fresh content — directly from the source — is Medium. The free and open platform allows anyone to write, edit and publish content. I’ve customized my preferences to read about topics that interest me, including parenting, government and journalism.
If you’re already on Medium and looking for good content, I’ve rounded up a few organizations and individuals to follow who are big on government and tech.

Thank you! I hadn’t heard of Medium before this.
You’re welcome, Robert! I’m glad to share this resource.
Though a couple of things have changed since I wrote this in 2015, here’s my overview of what government agencies should know about using Medium to publish content https://www.govloop.com/community/blog/medium-perfect-fit-government/ Hope it’s helpful, Robert.
