media coverage

The Digital Liberty Coalition has developed an extensive media portfolio, given that it has become clear that the media will suffer more from censorship than almost any industry. Our clear and concise opposition with no political agenda has led to coverage from all major television networks, international networks, all Australian national and state news outlets--in both newspaper and electronic format--and a plethora of interviews on radio, even a feature in Rolling Stone Magazine and New York Times!
