Blogging the EPA

It seems like there are more federal government blogs appearing every day, but for my money, one of the best is one that I have to admit I've just recently discovered: Flow of the River, written by Environmental Protection Agency Deputy Administrator Marcus Peacock. There are several reasons why I like it:

  • Peacock updates it frequently -- or has guest bloggers do posts.
  • It's topical.
  • He devotes a lot of space to core federal management issues like performance measurement and program evaluation.
  • He's willing to grapple publicly with issues like how you handle comments on a blog in the federal sphere.
  • He's pretty clever.
