"Like the first edition, issued in 2009, this book is intended to inform your professional life. Technically, it is published as a textbook for college courses in journalism ethics and communications ethics, and as the ethics textbook in a course combining journalism ethics and law. I hope that prac

ticing journalists – especially young men and women who did not take journalism courses in college – will also find it useful for its comprehensive discussion of the standards of the profession. If you fit those categories of student journalist and practicing journalist, you will find yourself addressed directly in this book. I reach out to you in two ways: first, to help you learn to make ethically defensible decisions in the practice of journalism; and, second, to give you the benefit of the thinking of generations of professionals and scholars that resulted in today’s consensus guidelines for ethical conduct. With these goals in mind, I have divided the book into two parts. Part I examines ethics in a general way, shows the relevance of ethics to journalism, and outlines a decision-making strategy. Part II discusses specific subject areas in which journalists frequently confront ethical problems. Throughout the book, the consensus guidelines are explained, not to dictate your decision-making but to offer a starting point for thinking through the issues. The idea is that you don’t have to start from a zero base; you can build on the best thinking of those who have gone before. Where there is disagreement in the profession, I have noted that, too. In several instances I advocate for what I consider to be best practice." (Preface)

ono móvil o las cámaras fotográficas. La ventaja con el video es que puede funcionar por sà mismo o ser complementario para distintos medios, además de utilizar texto, fotografÃa, mapas o infografÃas —todas ellas, herramientas que utiliza el periodismo digital. Este es un manual breve, dedicado a cientÃficos, comunicadores y periodistas de ciencia que desean iniciarse en este campo y aprovechar al máximo las oportunidades que ofrece para comunicar. Busca proporcionar los conocimientos técnicos y la metodologÃa básica para comenzar a realizar un proyecto de video, con pocos conocimientos y un mÃnimo de recursos. Se trata de una guÃa que conduce al lector por el camino de la realización y producción de un video, llevándolo desde el planteamiento de una idea hasta la forma de hacer llegar el video al puìblico. Hay muchos, muchiìsimos libros de video, pero este manual tiene la información que se requiere para poner manos a la obra, sin conocimientos, casi sin recursos, pero sin que haya excusa que valga. Porque consideramos que la experiencia es el mejor maestro. Existen a nivel iberoamericano pocas ofertas de videos de comunicacioìn o periodismo cientÃfico, este es un campo lleno de posibilidades para explorar y proponer." (Presentación, página 7)

vidas y el impacto que tenemos en él. Como periodistas ambientales, tenemos la oportunidad de plantear temas que otras personas no tienen en cuenta, o preguntar sobre prácticas que son muy buenas (y pueden servir de ejemplo) o muy malas (y deben ser cambiadas). Podemos abogar por justicia cuando los derechos de las personas se ven transgredidos o amenazados, y podemos educar a la gente para que puedan convertirse en sus propios mejores defensores. A medida que aumenta la conciencia pública sobre cuestiones medioambientales —desde el uso de pesticidas, pasando por el cambio climático, hasta el deslizamiento de relaves mineros, por ejemplo—, también lo hace la necesidad de que haya periodistas que puedan investigar y explicar las causas, consecuencias y posibles soluciones. Si bien el periodismo ambiental es una especialidad, esta no existe de forma aislada. AsÃ, si bien te ayuda el conocer un poco sobre la ciencia medioambiental, probablemente también te encontrarás abordando temas de polÃtica, economÃa, salud, aspectos sociales y puntos de vista culturales: cómo es que el mercurio en los peces afecta a la salud humana, por ejemplo, o los datos económicos de cómo el oro proveniente de la minerÃa ilegal en la AmazonÃa termina en los mercados internacionales, o cómo la construcción de una hidroeléctrica afecta a las tradiciones culturales de las comunidades indÃgenas aledañas, y puede estar relacionada con la corrupción."

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."

Learning for these experiences, General Election Network for Disability Access (AGENDA) which is the consortium of Jaringan Pendidikan Pemilih untuk Rakyat (JPPR/ People’s Voter Education Network), Persatuan Penyandang Disabilitas Indonesia (PPDI/Indonesian Association of Persons with Disabilities) and International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), took an initiative to develop the Media Guidelines for Reporting on Accessible Elections. This guideline explains about the terminology on disability and accessible election, how to interact with Persons with Disabilities, and how to make the news article on the political rights of Persons with Disabilities. The guidelines also provides the examples of good reporting and the contact information of the Disabled People’s Organizations (DPOs) in Indonesia. We hope the guidelines will be useful for the journalist to report on the Persons with Disabilities, especially to report on the accessible election. By having good and massive reporting on accessible election, we hope the public have more knowledge about the political rights of Persons with Disabilities. As a result of this efforts, the public awareness is increased and together we can advocate the political rights of Person with Disabilities in elections." (Foreword)
