Oil production, in some countries, has been a curse instead of a blessing. Translating wishful thinking into reality depends on how the resources, and the revenue from them, are earned, managed and spent. This is where you come in. You, the journalist, have a vital role to play. This handbook will not teach you everything you need to know about the oil and gas industry. It’s more of an introductory guide to help you get your bearings. It will offer you a few pointers and, hopefully, stimulate your natural curiosity." (Introduction)

And at a time when two-career families are the norm, the civic and professional activities of spouses, family and companions can create conflicts or the appearance of conflicts. In keeping with its solemn responsibilities under the First Amendment, The Times strives to maintain the highest standards of journalistic ethics. It is confident that its staff members share that goal. The Times also recognizes that staff members should be free to do creative, civic and personal work and to earn extra income in ways separate from their work at The Times. Before engaging in such outside activities, though, staff members should exercise mature professional judgment and consider the stake we all have in The Times’s irreplaceable good name."

Écrit par un journaliste expérimenté, formateur dans de nombreux pays africains, il entend contribuer à renforcer les capacités de tous ceux qui œuvrent dans les radios associatives et/ou communautaires, et qu’on surnomme affectueusement en Afrique les « radioteurs ». Largement documenté auprès des écrits des confrères et illustré de nombreux exemples concrets, ce guide apporte des notions essentielles pour tout journaliste radio. Outre les recommandations sur les techniques spécifiques à ce métier de l’oralité, il attire également l’attention sur l’éthique et la déontologie des médias dans le contexte africain."

Romper com essa lacuna e contribuir para a compreensão das causas, consequências e alternativas aos castigos físicos e humilhantes é, a proposta que a ANDI, Red ANDI América Latina e Save the Children Suécia fazem aos profissionais de imprensa, ao disponibilizarem um conjunto de orientações e diretrizes para o aprimoramento da cobertura sobre o tema. Considerando a complexidade da relação entre pais, filhos e profissionais de educação no processo educativo, este guia procura, portanto, subsidiar o debate sobre estratégias disciplinares positivas e sustentáveis, com base no diálogo e na negociação de limites e consensos de maneira participativa e colaborativa. A presença de tal abordagem na mídia fornece informações extremamente relevantes para os adultos e para as próprias crianças e adolescentes, reforçando a imagem de meninos e meninas como sujeitos de direito, que têm direito a um tratamento respeitoso."

And finally, in an era of fake news that threatens to not only distort the truth, but sometimes endanger society through incitement to violence, it’s more important than ever that African journalists maintain the highest standards and use the latest tools to fight back."

La labor de los periodistas visuales los obliga a enfrentar una diversidad de circunstancias con características particulares. Este segundo apartado pretende brindar al lector recomendaciones específicas que le serán útiles en cierto tipo de contextos, pero sin olvidar que no hay dos situaciones iguales, por lo que cada cobertura requiere de medidas específicas de seguridad.
