Introduction
Water reporting, let your story flow
By Rasha Dewedar
Freelance journalist
Water is that flood of generosity that gives life and prosperity; the fluid that runs through our bodies and interferes with our entire lives; that integral part of economy, politics, climate, environment and much more.
Reporting water is such a tough job that needs competent, knowledgeable and experienced journalists; it is just another form of science reporting that should be based on facts and data, rather than assumptions and opinions.
When information is all over the internet, and every day presents new challenges and increased competitiveness, journalists should focus on having an edge, an advantage over the others, new data, innovative coverage, human stories, etc.
Amid ever-changing contexts and continuously evolving tools, journalists should always be ready to embrace new changes, learn latest knowledge and use available tools to present science – and practise a lot!
This handbook is an endeavour to gather the expertise of people from different disciplines, genders, backgrounds and countries, who all work in the field of water diplomacy and water reporting. It aims at providing clearer understanding of the interaction between media, science and politics and its impact on water diplomacy, and how to cover water issues from a cooperative rather than a national interests point of view.
The target audience of the handbook is journalists, editors and researchers, as well as policy makers and media development organizations that are interested in working on science communication for water, peace and cooperation, and those who are searching for ideas and inspiration.
The configuration of the book and the selection of themes reflect the editorial board’s vision of offering essential knowledge, perceived as substantial for water journalists’ and communicators’ work. It highlights academic insights, field work, case studies and best practices, presenting a wide range of opinions and expertise.
It also features descriptions and reflections of activities (action research, training modules, joint workshops, etc.), implemented in the Nile Basin, as well as success stories in other river basins.
The book is divided into three sections, each encompassing three chapters, as
