This paper presents preliminary findings from a multi-sited qualitative study of poverty and information and communication technologies (ICTs) in India, Indonesia Sri Lanka and Nepal. It draws upon data gathered by 12 ethnographic action researchers working across 15 community ICT initiatives.

This booklet contains stories and information collected from the field over a period of a few weeks in April 2007. The authors visited several Nepal districts and organized individual and group discussions with local journalists to hear their views on press freedom, the safety of journalists and impunity.
