Dear FoME Community,DW Akademie and iRights.lab are pleased to announce the publication of the Guidebook Internet Governance: Media freedom in a connected world. It is vital for civil society and the media, to work together to shape the Internet of the future and ensure it remains in the service of democracy. Civil society has a crucial role in advocating a human rights-based understanding of the Internet, opposing threats to Internet freedom, and representing Internet users in relevant forums, such as the Internet Governance Forum. Journalists are needed to report on digital rights and the effects of proposed Internet regulation. And informed citizens can play an active role in pushing for Internet freedom. The guidebook seeks to contribute to a greater understanding of Internet governance by exploring some of the most pressing Internet governance issues facing the Global South. The guidebook is written for, and by, stakeholders in the Global South.You can download the guidebook here: http://www.dw.com/en/internet-governance-guidebook-top-resource-for-the-global-south/a-19321335More information on the collaboration between DW Akademie and iRights.labhttp://www.dw.com/en/internet-governance-forum-a-bigger-role-for-africa/a-18878010Best wishes
