Many blog posts received thousands of hits and dozens, or even hundreds, of comments from all over the world,†said Art Morgan, one of the founders of Progressive U.Progressive U encourages students to become the next generation of leaders and influencers, and provides a place to communicate their thoughts about social problems, economic issues, and cultural conflict.“Students write about a huge range of topics, but the main focus is on issues that affect society – that’s what sets Progressive U apart from sites like MySpace or other blogging sites,†said Morgan.As Progressive U bloggers students become “citizen journalists,†but they develop skills that will prepare them for careers in a broad variety of fields.
