The Revenue Watch program and the Initiative for Policy Dialogue promote transparency and civic participation in natural resource policymaking. Journalists know how hard it is to report on government management of oil, gas, and other natural resource revenues. Governments and industry are seldom forthcoming.

This book attempts to redress the balance with practical information in easy to understand language.

Tip sheets inform reporters about stories to pursue and questions to ask.
