Journalism and the Rights Factory in Latin America

CADAL and the School of Communication at Universidad Austral hosted the launch of Fernando J. Ruiz’s book, a journalism handbook that combines a theoretical foundation with practical applicability and is of interest for a general audience.

The handbook was conceived by the author as an intensive journalism course that combines theoretical foundations with practical application. It is a text designed to be studied by every Latin American journalist for reflection on their day-to-day practice.
