Part of bridging the Digital Divide, IMO, is building the capacities
of particular groups of professionals, and aspiring professionals, to
use it. With that in mind, I'm passing on the following:
The Net for Journalists: A practical guide to the Internet for
journalists in developing countries
UNESCO collaborated with the Thomson Foundation and Commonwealth
Broadcasting Association to produce a handbook for journalists of
developing countries on the use of Internet for journalistic
purposes. This training handbook, which is written by a journalist
and trainer Mr Martin Huckerby, is designed for both print and
broadcast journalists and journalism students in developing countries
around the globe.
The handbook aims to provide journalists, especially from developing
countries, with some practical skills in exploring and exploiting the
Net for day-to-day journalistic assignments. It teaches how to search
the net more effectively and efficiently, not only for facts and
figures, but also for images, audio and video.
An important feature of the handbook is that it does not only tell
where and how to get the information one needs, but also how to
evaluate and verify the information gathered. In short, it keeps the
tradition of journalism of verification.
The handbook can be downloaded from

I have NO further information on this resource.
