Digital Media Law Project

The Digital Media Law Project (DMLP) is an initiative that aims to provide legal resources and support for individuals and organizations involved in online journalism and digital media. Established in 2007 and operated by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society until 2014, the DMLP focuses on ensuring that independent journalists and digital media ventures have access to the legal knowledge, tools, and representation necessary to navigate the complexities of media law. The project offers a variety of resources, including a legal guide, a database of legal threats, and ongoing research into pressing legal issues affecting the journalism industry. It emphasizes the importance of legal assistance for those in the digital media space, particularly as many new ventures lack the financial and legal expertise to defend themselves against potential legal challenges. Although the website is no longer being updated, it remains a valuable archive of information and resources for those interested in media law and digital journalism.
