"This manual has been produced as a resource material for training workshops on media and freedom of expression law. It contains resources and background material to help trainers prepare and participants to understand the issues being discussed. It is expected that participants in the workshops will be primarily lawyers. The assumption is that they are qualified and competent lawyers, with experience of litigation, but not necessarily of media, freedom of expression or human rights law. The manual covers a wide variety of topics and it is not, of course, necessary that its entire contents be covered in a single workshop. However, it is expected that the material here could be covered in its entirety, albeit in a very introductory fashion, in a full three-day workshop." (Introduction)
