ión de exhaustividad. Es evidente que el proceso de aprendizaje no se agota en talleres. Necesitamos ampliar el lente y conocer las diferentes estrategias de capacitación que tienen (o que no tienen) las emisoras y las redes. Pero vayamos de los arbolitos al bosque. Comencemos conociendo la actividad que ha sido más frecuente entre nosotros, los eventos breves de capacitación, los talleres. Veamos qué criterios pedagógicos podemos sacar de ellos. Luego nos asomaremos a una panorámica más amplia. Ya contamos con varios libros de producción radiofónica. Este pequeño manual se refiere a las metodologías para capacitar en dicha producción. No entro en temas siempre urgentes para las emisoras como la sostenibilidad, la gestión, las modernas tecnologías, las legislaciones. Me concentro, por ahora, en la producción de contenidos y cómo capacitar para ello." (Página 10)

"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

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)

"For more than a century, men and women of The Times have jealously guarded the paper’s integrity. Whatever else we contribute, our first duty is to make sure the integrity of The Times is not blemished during our stewardship. Conflicts of interest, real or apparent, may come up in many areas. The

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."
