Media and Internet Freedom

As the fourth estate of governments, the press’ role is to keep those in power accountable and write the first draft of history. But journalists today face the triple assault of clampdowns by repressive regimes, the media industry’s financial viability, and being victims of targeted violence in conflict zones.

One silver lining is the borderless frontier of digital journalism, which is disrupting traditional business models and power structures indiscriminately. Is online media the way forward?

Three individuals working on the front lines of cyberspace join us to discuss their respective roles in cultivating a free, vibrant and responsible online media environment.
