Covering oil – a reporter’s guide to energy and development

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. This guide aims to encourage rigorous reporting on these issues by providing practical information.
