"This teaching guide aims to assist those who intend to learn conflict-sensitive journalism (CSJ) and those who want to instruct others in the principles, techniques, and strategies of the craft. It is not a course but a collection of lessons to be integrated in existing curricula for communication and journalism. It is a toolkit more than a textbook. Each contains several lessons, with activities of varying difficulty levels that focus on different aspects of CSJ. There is no order to be strictly followed, but this guide is structured towards a particular logic that flows from principles to practice." (Page 10)
