I am currently working as an intern at the我目前的工作，作為一名實習生，在 Berkman Center for Internet and Society Berkman中心互聯網與社會 , and got a press release hit last week from one project that the center is involved in. The Citizen Media Law Project does a lot of good work providing legal education for people involved in… you guessed it, citizen media. ，並得到了一份新聞稿，上週從一個項目：該中心是涉及的公民媒體的法律項目做了很多善事工作提供法制教育的人參與… …你猜，公民媒體。 They have他們有 a great new site up一個偉大的新址了 which gives a very good survey about legal protections and concerns to be aware of in all 50 states–each state has important custom information.這給人一個很好的調查，大約法律保護和關切，他們必須明白，在所有50個州，每個州有重要的定制信息。 In their words:用他們的話說：

“The guide, intended for use by citizen media creators with or without formal legal training, addresses the legal issues that traditional and non-traditional journalists are likely to encounter as they gather information and publish their work online.” "為指導，有意使用公民媒體製作人或無正式的法律培訓，涉及法律問題，傳統和非傳統的新聞工作者可能會遇到，因為他們蒐集資料，並公佈其工作在線" 。

“Knowing your legal rights and responsibilities is important for anyone who publishes online. "知道你的法律權利和責任是很重要的，為任何人在網上發布。 The CMLP’s legal guide addresses the legal issues you may encounter as you gather information and publish your work.該cmlp的法律指引，涉及的法律問題，你可能會遇到你蒐集資料，並公佈你的工作。 The guide is intended for use by citizen media creators with or without formal legal training, as well as others with an interest in these issues.”指南的目的是為使用公民媒體製作人或無正式的法律訓練，以及為他人利益，在這些問題上" 。
