ositive role in persuading the world that trafficking can be diminished if not eradicated. Political leaders and the public at large need to read, hear and see the full story. It is an essential first step in generating the political will needed to overcome the fundamental causes of human trafficking. The advice and suggestions set out in these pages can help journalists to think twice about how they report on trafficking; to consider the legal and human rights issues involved; the treatment of the victims, their privacy and welfare; and how to tell the story with humanity and style while helping audiences to understand better what must be done."

te other works; indeed, the quality and integrity of nonfiction works frequently depend on the author’s skillful use of such materials. Although drawing from other works is common, it can often seem difficult to know when (and how much) unlicensed copying is permissible and whether certain unlicensed uses of another’s work put you at risk of copyright infringement. Sometimes, authors need to seek permission or pay for a license to use copyrighted materials. An author may even need a license to use her own works because she signed over her copyrights to her publisher. But not always. In some situations, unlicensed use may be legally permitted by virtue of the “fair use” doctrine, a well-known (but oft-misunderstood) limitation to copyright in the United States. Fair use is a powerful tool, but unfortunately many nonfiction authors find it tricky to know when to rely on fair use and when to seek permission. That’s where this guide comes in. In addition to providing background information on copyright law and fair use, this guide identifies three common situations that nonfiction authors encounter when incorporating existing materials into their works and then discusses general fair use principles and limitations that apply in these situations. This guidance is based on broadly shared norms found in the leading fair use statements of best practices, as well as existing case law." (Introduction)

s violations and abuses. On paper, the Resolution is the most ambitious global agenda yet to act on the safety of journalists. However, the reality for journalists facing daily threats and attacks remains dire [...] This important UN resolution must be met with action from States if it is going to ensure safety for journalists and end impunity for crimes against them. To break the cycle of violence, HRC Resolution 33/2 commits States to act on three fronts to: prevent, protect, and prosecute [...] Is HRC Resolution 33/2 legally binding? No. The HRC is a political body constituted by States (rather than by international judges or independent experts), and its resolutions constitute political commitments. Nevertheless, HRC Resolution 33/2 is a significant commitment by States to take action. It is rooted in their international human rights law obligations, and gives an insight into how States view their legal obligations relating to the safety of journalists." (Introduction, page 5-6)

ources. Because technology investments can be a major budget item for nonprofit organizations, we also made sure to include platforms at different price points. It’s always good to mix things up a little – seven of the most feature – packed programs for nonprofits made it into this new guide. Four were included last year, and we’ve added three new platforms. Once we selected the seven participants, we got a lot of help from the software vendors themselves. We interviewed members of the software vendors’ teams and got answers to some common questions. Our team attended live software demos to see the platforms in action (and we peppered the vendor team with questions and use cases). We also talked with our own team members – who use many different engagement software systems for our clients – to get an understanding of what each one is truly like to use daily." (Page 3)

This handbook outlines the Michigan State University approach to participatory video. Our approach differs from traditional participatory video methods in its emphasis on the use of video as a scalable teaching tool rather than advocacy. Our approach focuses on integrating farmers' stories in a narrative storytelling style in order to enhance the relevance of agricultural information for local communities." (Foreword)

"WE CAN! is the latest addition to our toolbox against hate. The most damaging examples of hate speech are often grounded in simple stories, which are repeated over and over again in different forms. The migrants “taking our jobs” narrative, for example. Or the consistent claim, made by radicals

, that Islam is “under attack”. Such narratives often remain unchallenged, either because they have become commonplace, or because they are delivered in sophisticated ways. This manual will therefore help young people and educators confront, dismantle and replace hateful narratives. There are no short-cuts: the reader will not find in these pages a single statement, slogan, meme or caricature to counter all hate speech. You will, however, be guided in identifying the dangerous story-telling that chips away at our communities. Even more importantly, you will find tried and tested methods to propose powerful alternatives. Not simply telling different stories, but building and deploying more truthful accounts of the world around us which encourage others to challenge prejudice and think critically, and which deepen our knowledge and understanding of one and other."
