Individuals and organisations are also encouraged to contribute their own resources, and to promote upcoming events and news items.
"Lawyers in many countries across the world do not have access to resources or specialist training in media law," said Mark Stephens, chair of IBA's media law committee. "We hope that this site will enable legal professionals to share their knowledge and learn from each other, helping them to overcome the challenges they may face and build a strong network of knowledge and support."
The Media Law and Freedom of Expression website is hosted by Pro Bono Net, a non-profit organisation dedicated to increasing access to justice through volunteer lawyers and technology, and is funded by the Open Society Initiative. Join for free
