the challenge of defending and maintaining its fundamental principles in new environments. While pursuing
its important efforts in "traditional" media and their role in the democratic process, the Steering Committee
on Media and New Communication Services (CDMC) is also working on freedom of
expression in the complex context of the new communications services.
