This is a manual for overseas journalism trainers. If you are new to this business, perhaps you have some reservations, some fears about it. Do I have a right to train anybody? What do I really know? And, even if I do know quite a lot about journalism, do I know how to teach it? And even if I know how to teach it, will I make a fool of myself in front of a bunch of foreigners? And, anyway, how do I know that my kind of journalism has any relevance where I'm going? Or, you might be coming to the subject from an entirely different perspective.

We designed this manual to help journalists to better cover these kinds of issues, to elevate the beats that revolve around daily life to the same level of the politics, crime or entertainment beats. We have chosen to call these social issues because they deal with the way people in society interact with each other. Besides being neglected at many news organizations around the world, social issues involve special reporting challenges. Many of the issues are controversial or sensitive topics that some people would rather not discuss.

This is a basic guide for creating and operating a successful newspaper business. This booklet is intended to be useful for newspaper entrepreneurs in developing countries, and in countries with newly emergent press freedoms or market economies.

Because most newspaper entrepreneurs get started for non-business reasons, they need a basic guide to the business of running a newspaper.

This manual has been adapted from the International Center for Journalists’ operational handbook and has been used by our trainers for more than a decade. It pulls together long-proven methods of training adults in general, professional journalists and managers in particular, and international journalists and managers especially. It comes from lessons learned (sometimes the hard way) in more than 20 years of training by the Center, its staff, and its hundreds of adjunct faculty and consultants who have made a science out of imparting information and skills to others.

It is essential that journalists in Latin America think about ethics in their profession, talk about ethics with their colleagues and their audiences, and develop ethical standards and guidelines that fit their needs and circumstances.

This manual intends to illustrate the most serious threats to freedom of expression and freedom of the press in Latin America, and it reviews international treaties that guarantee freedom of expression as a fundamental human right necessary for democracy.

La radio es instantaneidad, rapidez, simultaneidad e inmediatez. A diferencia de la prensa escrita o la televisión, la radio sólo cuenta con la palabra y los efectos sonoros para hacerle llegar a la audiencia un mensaje que se entienda. Los oyentes no pueden releer nuestra historia ni completarla con imágenes visuales: sólo tienen una oportunidad de escucharla. Por tanto, deben entender inmediatamente las noticias que estamos transmitiendo.

This section defines traumatic stress and offers tips to media professionals for their own self-care.
