ly from idea to execution to finished film. Throughout the book, Thompson demystifies and de-clutters the way docs are produced today, illustrating the use of a few simple and accessible tools and techniques while still engaging with the aesthetic possibilities of the medium, its creative opportunities and its satisfying rewards of giving back to the world. Using the essential lessons in Get Close, filmmakers will learn to eliminate physical and financial barriers between themselves and their subject matter, ultimately leading them to tell more artful, illuminating stories and find the joy in documentary filmmaking."

"Las dificultades que afronta el proceso de cumplimiento del Acuerdo para la Terminación del Conflicto y la Construcción de una Paz Estable y Duradera, firmado en 2016 entre el Gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc-Ep); el fortalecimiento de diverso

s grupos al margen de la ley (entre los que se deben mencionar a las disidencias de las Farc); la confluencia de diferentes tipos de violencia y criminalidad a lo largo y ancho del país; y la débil respuesta del Estado para enfrentar las diferentes problemáticas, han consolidado la idea de que la implementación de lo acordado es inviable. Frente a este momento crítico, las voces de quienes tienen aún esperanza no se han acallado. Y el periodismo, con un sentido de responsabilidad social, no puede dejarse llevar por la desesperanza. El papel de quienes aman este oficio debe ser encontrar las causas de la nueva situación, y hacer una veeduría –desde la fuente- a lo acordado, para poder contribuir a detectar la ruta para que lo logrado en el proceso de paz sea viable para Colombia. Este manual expone, precisamente, las rutas para hacer seguimiento a los dineros de la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz. En él, los lectores encontrarán la nueva arquitectura institucional para la paz, diseñada y manejada no solo por parte del Estado, sino por la comunidad internacional, que tanto ha trabajado para que la convivencia se abra paso en el país. Además, se diseñaron la metodología y las herramientas para el seguimiento a los dineros del posconflicto, en un capítulo que reúne lo mejor de las experiencias y los conocimientos de los periodistas investigadores que forman parte de Consejo de Redacción. Igualmente, se sientan las bases para la construcción de una agenda periodística sobre el seguimiento a la transición al posconflicto y, finalmente, se presentan dos investigaciones periodísticas sobre la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz, producto de un ejercicio de construcción de contenidos a partir de un taller en el que participaron doce reporteros de diferentes regiones del país, inspirado en la metodología y las herramientas del periodismo de investigación, con la intención de hacer una especie de primer balance sobre la marcha de la implementación."

"This pilot toolkit has been devised by journalists and media trainers to help reporters and editors working on international migration. It will be the starting point of a broader project on how to cover news while maintaining respect for diversity and human rights. Its premise is that diversity and
...
human rights are best covered through responsible, ethical journalism that acknowledges the diversity of minorities and respects migrants as human beings rather than treating them as a political, social and economic problem. The pilot toolkit includes examples of how the media in France and the United Kingdom reported on the large numbers of migrants’ arrivals that began in 2015, from different angles, and analyses the media coverage to illustrate good practice. The toolkit also contains training exercises that can be done individually or in groups to improve participants’ skills and knowledge, as well as tips for reporters and editors that will serve as useful reminders, a glossary of legal terms and links to organisations that can provide useful data and further information. The essence of responsible, ethical journalism is treating people fairly. This means practising professional journalistic diligence – checking the accuracy of information and correcting mistakes quickly and transparently; it means giving as much background information as necessary for readers and listeners to fully understand the story; it means letting people tell their own stories, in their own words, whenever possible; and it means avoiding inflammatory or extremist language."

"The handbook begins with a more general focus on conflict and on the different contributions journalists can make if they adopt a conflict sensitive approach to reporting. Key ideas relating to conflict senstive reporting are spelt out in some detail in Part One and this provides a conceptual basis
...
for the rest of the text. The remainder of the handbook focuses more specifically on how a conflict sensitive approach to reporting can enable journalists to make a constructive contribution when reporting on situations involving violent extremists and terrorists. Readers who are are primarily interested in these issues can skip Part One and begin their reading at the start of Part Two. That said, many of the ideas discussed in Part One, such as tips for understanding conflict, or interviewing people in conflict situations, would also inform the coverage of extremism and terrorism. One of the corner stones of conflict sensitive reporting is the assumption that the more journalists know about conflict, the better equipped they will be to report constructively on disputes, confrontations, insurgencies and wars. The handbook assumes the same thing when it comes to reporting on extremism and terrorism and consequently provides a detailed discussion of some relevant aspects relating to these manifestation of conflict in Part Two. Part Three looks specifically at things journalists can do when reporiting extremist activities in a community and how, by applying principles of fair, independent and transparent reporting, they can help to limit the harmful effects of these activities. Part Four deals specifically with contributions journalists can make when reporting on actual terrorist attacks, while Part Five, written by Jem Thomas, focuses specifically on violent extremism in the digital world. Part Six: Looking After Yourself, pays attention to question relating to journalists physical safety and psychological well being." (Page 6)

Contributors to this volume are an international group of journalists-turned-academics, who share their first-hand experiences and unique professional insight into best ethical journalistic practice for reporting on sensitive topics. Drawing from a range of case studies, contributors discuss the most appropriate approach to, for example, describing a shooter who has killed a group of schoolchildren or interviewing someone who has lost everything in a natural disaster. Readers are invited to consider factors which have the potential to influence the reporting of these sorts of topics, including bias, sensationalism, conflict of interest, grief, vulnerability, and ignorance of one’s own privilege."

over two hundred data journalism modules and programs being taught in journalism schools all over the world. These programs are set to prepare journalists for the next wave of analytical and accountability-driven journalism. For the average global citizen, more and more of our everyday lives are impacted by computers and data. In order to hold power to account, journalists should be empowered with the skills and tools to make sense of this data. By working through real case studies within Al Jazeera, we hope to provide readers with a concise and practical introduction to data journalism as seen through the lens of an Arab audience. This guidebook will move beyond the technical details and rather focus on helping you think critically and creatively about telling human stories hidden within data." (Introduction)

"A crowdfunding platform for movies is an alternative way of refunding movie production costs. Usually, such platform combines several types of funding, including sourcing the Internet community to gather small private donations, that is, a revenue stream which is typically named “crowdfunding”.
...
In this chapter, we apply the framework of business model analysis to review this crowdfunding mechanism. We describe the business model characteristics of several industry cases. Next, we decide whether such a crowdfunding platform can sustain itself and whether it is able to collect sufficient funds for the production of movies. We argue that the platform could obtain enough funds from the general public for smaller-budget productions such as short films or documentaries. A movie crowdfunding platform could also collect enough income from advertising to make itself sustainable. Charging a premium membership fee to movie producers would yield negligible revenues and is hence not advisable. Further, we find that the platform will never amass the needed production budget in a small market, especially for the production of long feature films. However, a crowdfunding platform could be more valuable when combined with other means of financing smaller movie formats and could perform a marketing purpose alongside its central crowdfunding role."

from dominant news values and conventions when reporting on Islam. The book is based on an extensive review of international literature and interviews with news media editors, copy-editors, senior reporters, social media editors, in-house journalism trainers and journalism educators, conducted for the Reporting Islam Project.

The findings collated here help to identify the best and worst reporting practices adopted by different news outlets, as well as the factors which have influenced them. Building on this, the authors outline a new strategy for more accurate, fair and informed reporting of stories relating to Muslims and Islam. By combining an overview of different journalistic approaches, with realworld accounts from professionals and advice on best practice, journalists, journalism educators and students will find this book a useful guide to contemporary news coverage of Islam."

m eine Geschichte zu erzählen. Wir nennen die Vorgehensweise Story-Based Inquiry. Wir hören auch nicht mit der Publikation der Geschichte auf – von wegen: „Aus der Druckerpresse aus dem Sinn“. Die „Nachsorge“ ist für den Erfolg des Projekts genauso wichtig wie die Recherche. Wir müssen dafür sorgen, dass wir mit der Geschichte all diejenigen erreichen, die von den Recherche-Ergebnissen profitieren können. Denn den Impact einer investigativen Recherche bestimmt nicht allein der Inhalt der Story, sondern auch ihre Verbreitung. Die in diesem Handbuch vorgestellte Methode arbeitet vor allem mit Fragen – sorgfältig ausgewählten Fragen in einer sorgfältig ausgesuchten Reihenfolge. Wer unserer Anleitung folgt, wird merken, dass sich manche Hürden im Rechercheprozess von selbst auflöst und man eine Menge Zeit sparen kann. Denn die hier vorgestellte Recherchestruktur ist gleichermaßen das Gerüst einer überzeugenden und spannenden Geschichte. Recherchieren und Schreiben gehen Hand in Hand, sie unterstützen sich gegenseitig. Ungefähr zu dem Zeitpunkt, an dem die Recherche abgeschlossen ist, steht auch ein Großteil der Geschichte. In diesem Leitfaden haben wir die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse aus unserem vorigen Handbuch Story-Based Inquiry: A Manual for Investigative Journalists (2009) zusammengestellt und um neue Aspekte ergänzt."
