"Since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, fossil fuels have supplied much if not most of that energy. Today, oil, coal and gas meet three-quarters of our needs. The oil and gas industry alone generates revenue running into several trillion dollars each year. It’s a market

that can offer a producing country a one-off opportunity to change life for the better [...] for everyone. Experience has shown that that does not always follow. 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)

inda são pouco debatidos na esfera pública. Esse silêncio contribui para a manutenção de um modelo educativo tradicionalmente pautado pela violência, mesmo que de forma sutil. 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."

With the help of this handbook, the African storyteller will be able to tell stories that matter on issues that matter and in a manner that does not clutter the page but appeals to the eye and the heart. After all, in development journalism, it doesn’t have to bleed in order to lead; it only needs to be readable and relevant. 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."
