International Journalists’ Network

Handbooks on covering war crimes and politics now online
Journalists interested in improving their coverage of war crimes or politics can download two new handbooks, free of charge. The Africa program of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) produced both manuals.

"Reporting Justice: A Handbook on Covering War Crimes Courts" includes information on coverage techniques and strategies, as well as sections on basic trial reporting, the history of war crimes trials, and existing international human rights law.

The institute also is making available a handbook used for a radio course in political reporting, which it has been conducting in Uganda for freelance journalists. 

The handbooks are available in English only HERE
