From the Executive Summary: "This paper seeks to examine both the challenges and opportunities facing citizen journalism in foreign lands, focusing especially on the so-called purple (not free) and yellow (partly free) zones, as defined by the Freedom House Foundation's Map of Press Freedom 2010, which ranks 196 countries and territories. In many such places, the definition between citizen journalism and advocacy blurs, and traditional newsroom standards are a luxury if not entirely irrelevant. So any discussion of citizen journalism in countries where the press is partly free or not free cannot be separated from the governmental environment and atmosphere that limit its practice."
