The day is finally here: Today, with our partners at @lpostcollective.bsky.social we are launching the 2026 Civic Information Index! The Civic Information Index is a practical tool that helps you understand the civic health of your community. Here are some highlights of what’s new.

We are excited to announce the 2026 Information Futures Lab Fellows and welcome six leaders who are working to improve journalism, public health communication and the civic information infrastructure. sph.brown.edu/news/2026-03...

We are excited to announce a new and improved version of the Civic Information Index! Built in collaboration with @lpostcollective.bsky.social and with support from @democracyfund.bsky.social, this tool maps drivers of civic health across the U.S.—and now it comes with new features.

Last week our very own @steffriedhoff.bsky.social joined PHCC and over 800 public health professionals for a dynamic discussion of social media and how to approach it for public health communication. Missed it? You can watch it here: vimeo.com/1052333153

Today at 3 pm ET! Join @steffriedhoff.bsky.social and the Public Health Communications Collaborative and bring your questions for this free webinar on the state of public health comms and social media. Register here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
