PolicyMatters, the student-run Journal of the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley, will shortly be launching the PolicyMatters blog. Just as the journal aims to marry insightful analysis of pressing policy problems with an accessible style, the blog will scrutinize the policy issues of the day. It will be a hub for policy conversations within the GSPP community and the wider policy community.

This Blog marks the introduction of PolicyMatters to the online policy communtiy, producing informative, readable, and energetic debate. Likewise the PolicyMatters blog will be a group effort with up to 10 regular contributors representing varied intellectual interests and fields. Our bloggers will primarily consist of students, professors, and policy practitioners with connections to GSPP or UC Berkeley.
