"To many in the media, Internet governance seems to be an issue far removed from their daily life and work. This misconception can have substantial consequences. The Internet is fast becoming the infrastructure for all communications between media and citizens. If journalists and media freedom activists do not get involved in the debates about how to govern the net, it will be left to governments and private companies to define the rules for our public arena." (Introduction, page 9)
