Eyes of Democracy: The Media and Elections de Manoah Esipisu

Eyes of Democracy: The Media and Elections

Autor Manoah Esipisu, Isaac E. Khaguli
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2009
The media plays a crucial role in ensuring that elections are conducted fairly, and are seen to be credible. Changing technologies are changing the speed and nature of reporting, but the key issue remains the same: media plays an essential part in ensuring freedom of expression and in guaranteeing democracy.
In "Eyes of Democracy," two experienced media professionals offer fellow journalists an overview of the issues, testimonies from colleagues on the ground, and guidelines for good practice, along with reports from Commonwealth Observer Groups on election reporting in a select number of Commonwealth countries.

Recenzii

'A useful tool for students of journalism. The information shared is deep and reveals the pragmatic approach to elections coverage - the knowledge, skills and tools that journalists ought to be equipped with while covering elections.' - Dr Eddah Mutua-Kombo, Assistant Professor of Communication Studies, St Cloud State University, Minnesota, USA. 'A very insightful book that shows deep experience from the authors in the realm of the media and democracy in general, and election reporting in particular. am sure this will guide our fellow journalists, especially in the Third World, who are still lacking landmarks in their profession and end up falling out with their governments. - Dominique Nduhura, Director School of Journalism and Communication, National University of Rwanda. 'The many strengths of the book include the fact that it is clearly written and free of jargon, and the fact that the layout is superb. ... The Commonwealth Secretariat deserves congratulation for its initiative in publishing this book.' - The Round Table, Vol. 99, No 406, February 2010.
