IPD
Jun 01, 2006
Labor
Written by academics and journalists, "Covering Labor" is the third in a series of guides for journalists published by IPD. Covering labor is essential reading for journalists everywhere who are interested in writing about working conditions, the links between labor and trade, and the effect that outsourcing is having on the global workforce.

This invaluable resource includes a history of the labor rights movement, a guide to international labor standards, information on consumer boycotts and union activities around the world and a chapter on the phasing out of the multi fiber agreement as well as tips for covering labor stories and case studies and articles written by journalists and academics.
2) Covering Oil: A Reporter's Guide to Energy and Development
OSI and IPD
Aug 04, 2005
Oil Markets
For the vast majority of people in most resource-rich countries, natural wealth does not translate into prosperity, but instead leads to environmental and economic devastation, and hampers democratic reform. Only an informed public can hold leaders to account. Yet local reporting often overlooks the legal, economic, and environmental implications of resource extraction. Covering Oil: A Reporter's Guide to Energy and Development, a collaborative work of the Open Society Institute's Revenue Watch program and the Initiative for Policy Dialogue, aims to encourage rigorous reporting on these issues by providing practical information about the petroleum industry and the impact of resource wealth on a producing country. Covering Oil outlines the fundamentals of petroleum contracts, provides a glossary of relevant economic theory, and presents case studies of major public policy issues.

Stiglitz -Covering Globalization is a guide to the pressing topics of our times and includes tips on how to write about subjects such as banking and banking crises, pension reform, privatization, trade agreements, central banks, the World Bank, sovereign debt restructuring, commodity markets, corporate governance, poverty-eradication programs, and the "resource curse."
