Chronicling Civil Resistance

As mass demonstrations and other forms of protest have proliferated, so too has literature for journalists who cover such actions, advising them on how to protect their safety, their rights of access, and other legal and logistical matters. ICNC is proud to add to this expanding library a unique publication to help journalists enrich the content of their coverage. It is the first known manual that addresses the concepts, terms and mechanisms of nonviolent resistance and the myths and misconceptions that hinder comprehensive and accurate coverage. Written by two former journalists with input from one of the world’s leading authorities on civil resistance, it explores the unique terminology and concepts that nonviolent movements employ; and it delves into the nuances of nonviolent strategies.
