Overview
Since December 2009, the Digital Media Law Project (DMLP) at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society has operated the Online Media Legal Network (OMLN), a free attorney referral service for independent, online journalists and journalism organizations. The OMLN has served as a fundamental part of the legal support structure for online journalism, assisting more than 260 clients with over 500 separate legal matters.

This report collects the observations made by DMLP about the nature of these new journalism ventures and their legal needs.
