I traded e-mails the other day with a supplier to the communications field who commented that he has seen tons of public relations and external communications weblogs, but not much aimed at internal communications.
My first stop in search of blogs on the subject of employee communications was Constantin Basturea's Bloglines PR List, but there doesn't seem to be a category for that kind of blog.
Off hand I can think of a few that profess to cover internal communications, but none do so exclusively:
A Shel of My Former Self
Corporate Engagement
IABC Cafe
Nevon
On Message with Wagner Communications
Additions, including several specific to internal comms.:
Millerwood Communiations
Allison Davis Insights
Quality Service Marketing
CommLog
Corporate Hallucinations
Coporate PR
A Technorati search for "employee communications" didn't turn up much. One blog, Welcome to the ICA, was launched in the last week, and cites the person who asked me the question about internal communications blogs (so I'm thinking he may already know about that one).
The NewPRWiki has a page of links about internal blogging, but it's more postings about blogs for internal communications, rather than about internal communications itself.
If you have others to add to the list, please add the URL in the Comments, or send me an e-mail: eggertson at gmail dot com.
Thanks for your help!
Update: I've added three more blogs, thanks to Constantin Basturea and Andrea B (I wasn't sure if she wanted her name used, so I'll leave out her last name). I''ll add more as they come in.
I just found one :)
Millerwood Communications

Actually, at CommLog we focus only on internal comms.; our firm conducts no external work whatsoever. And thanks for the link!

Thanks for the note, Alan. I just added your link to the list, but didn't update the item itself. Now that there's at least one exclusively internally-focused blog listed, I can change my text, above.

Steve Crescenzo's blog, Corporate Hallucinations, focuses primarily on internal communications. You can find it at http://www.ragan.com/stevesblog/Default.asp
