In our Quarterly Report Card, we mentioned the need for more bloggers to handle the need for more content. Today we’re going to start delivering on that promise. We’ve received several applications and are going through them as rapidly as we can. So far, however, we’ve recruited two new bloggers to write for New School Politics. Hopefully, the addition of these two well-versed teenagers will help to provide our readers with the quality content they’ve come to expect from New School Politics with the post frequency they deserve. If you’d still like to apply to write for us, just send an e-mail to us.

Our first new author, Elizabeth, attends high school with the three founding bloggers. She, like Ryan, is a believer of objectivism. Almost fluent in French, Liz is very interested in French society and politics. She’ll bring a fresh outlook on international issues; not just those pertaining to the United States.

We’d also like to welcome Paul to the team. Paul pulls his political ideals from the left, often choosing to describe himself as a liberal social democrat. Paul lives in Vancouver, Canada and is fluent in both English and French. His personal blogprovides a wealth of information for readers as well.

We’ve found our two new writers to be exceedingly knowledgeable in a wide array of fields and hope their talent adds to the standard of excellence we maintain at New School Politics.

The news and current events aren’t the only things we care about at New School Politics. Books are a large part of our political socialization and are very important to our society. The three of us at New School Politics do a lot of reading and felt our readers could benefit from good book recommendations. Therefore, we have decided to introduce a new feature: Book Reports.

Each book report will include a short synopsis of the book and our detailed impressions. At the end we’ll present the book with a simple grade to tell our readers whether or not it’s worth reading. In addition, we’ll be adding a Shelfari widget to the website in our sidebar. Shelfari will help us to show off the books we’ve read and help us to discover new books. The three of us will use it to update our readers on what we’re currently reading and what we read in the past. The opinions posted on the blog will be cross-posted on Shelfari for the enjoyment of their community.

Our bookshelf will be viewable on Shelfari and some of our recently read titles are going to be displayed in our sidebar. Our Wish List contains books we’re looking to read in the future. Our Reading List contains books we’re reading now. All other books that we have read are going to be contained within the Shelf. We’d love reading recommendations from our readers. If you’ve got any, feel free to contact us or tag us as “newschoolpolitics.” Please add us as a friend if you decide to use Shelfari. We’ll also be tagging all entries on our blog pertaining to books as “bookreport.” You can read all of our entries under that tag.

This is just one of the many new “people-powered” features we plan on adding to New School Politics. We hope you enjoy the new features. If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact us.
