Handbook from UNESCO
— ikram • May 29th, 2007
UNESCO and Thomson Foundation and Commonwealth Broadcasting Association produced a handbook for journalists of developing countries on the use of Internet for journalistic purposes, written by Martin Huckerby.
The handbook aims to provide journalists with some practical skills in exploring and exploiting the Net for day-to-day journalistic assignments. It also teaches how to search the net more effectively and efficiently, not only for facts and figures, but also for images, audio and video.
It is said that an important feature of the handbook is that it doesn’t only tell where and how to get the information one needs, but also how to evaluate and verify the information gathered. It keeps the tradition of journalism of verification.
