e está acontecendo na Amazônia pelos olhares e leituras críticas de quem vive aqui. De certa forma estamos cansados de ler, ver e ouvir noticias produzidas por profissionais que visitam pela primeira vez uma comunidade rural ribeirinha ou uma unidade de conservação e tem grandes dificuldades de compreender a complexidade da Amazônia. Precisamos ocupar esse espaço com informação relevante e profissionalmente elaborada pela RNA. Este manual chama para si a responsabilidade de trazer orientações gerais para que os colaboradores da RNA mantenham a produção de jornalismo com alta qualidade, críco, éco e acima de tudo idenficado com a Amazônia. O desafio de produzir informação de qualidade sobre a Amazônia é central para a defesa de nosso território. Interesses os mais diversos buscam, nos grandes conglomerados de informação, nacionais e internacionais, pautar o país e descrever uma Amazônia sem gente, sem conflitos e sem resistência. Buscam transformar a região num enorme armazém onde poderão explorar madeira, minerais, biodiversidade, ter acesso a terras baratas de forma ilegal através de grilagem e destruir todo o patrimônio que o planeta, com a preservação assegurada pelos povos indígenas e tradicionais conseguiram manter até os dias de hoje."

University of Botswana where I had taught and researched for six years. During that time I amassed a large amount of information that I used in lectures and research seminars that were delivered to relatively small numbers of people. I have taken that information and repackaged it, added to it, and produced this book. There are nine chapters covering a broad range of topics including history; law and media freedom; ethics; gender; how media contribute to good governance; election coverage and representations of LGBTI people."
