New Project Targets Citizen Media And The Law
May 25, 2007
The Center for Citizen Media and Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society launched a new project this week (with the help of a $250,000 grant from the Knight Foundation) aimed at providing practical knowledge and tools for citizen journalists.
The Citizen Media Law Project's Web site will soon feature a legal guide "that will cover everything from how to form a business to how to use freedom of information and open meetings laws," Dan Gillmor wrote on his blog. David Ardia, who previously worked in the general counsel's office at the Washington Post, will direct the project.
Gillmor said the initiative is one of many being funded by the Knight Foundation's 21st Century News Challenge. Read more about the rest of the winners here.
