ditores de medios de América Latina y España. Empieza con una declaración: la primera fidelidad del periodista hispanoamericano debe ser a su legua, el español. Contextualiza el escenario en el que hoy se ejerce la profesión, revela "los secretos de la tribu" para escribir bien, explica el uso de géneros, corrige los vicios de las salas de redacción y muestra cual primordial es el trabajo de los editores. Con el chip colonial o el "síndrome de la complicación", Bastenier expone su teoría sobre los problemas del periodismo latinoamericano y da soluciones a sus distintas manifestaciones, como la declaracionitis, la fiebre por llenar párrafos con declaraciones innecesarias. También muestra ejemplos de buen periodismo en una antología ilustrativa de crónicas, entrevistas y reportajes en diversos diarios del continente. Al final, ofrece veinte condiciones para ser buen periodista y recrea un debate sobre la profesión con figuras del periodismo en América Latina." (Contratapa)

"The Handbook for Afghan Journalists is designed to help Afghan journalists in three ways. First, it serves as an explanation in their own language to many of the ideas and concepts behind international journalism. Second, it provides practical guidance on many of the basic techniques of journalism.
...
To this end there are 12 exercises in the book. Some of them have answers provided at the end, and others either have no correct answers or are designed to be worked on in the classroom with a teacher. Third, the glossary at the back is intended to serve as a reference to explain and introduce many concepts which may be new to Afghan journalists. A wider range of reporting on economic and humanitarian issues is essential to strong public debate - and good government and international community strategies - if Afghanistan's bid for peace and development is to succeed. Journalists need familiarity with basic concepts in these fields to report on them properly." (Introduction, page 2)
