Regina Martínez was no stranger to retaliation. A journalist out of Mexico’s Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Regina's stories for the magazine Proceso laid out the corruption and abuse underlying Mexican politics. She was barred from press conferences, and copies of Proceso often disappeared before they made the newsstands.

You negotiate every day in everything you do: vacation time, work duties, even child care. Yet you probably have never had a course in how to negotiate effectively.

The skill lies in negotiating in a way that relationships can be built, developed and maintained. This is the first book ever written on how to combine negotiation with psychology to get the outcome you want.

Porque las élites de poder no se presentan a las elecciones ni defienden un programa electoral.

Nel tracciare la storia del giornalismo italiano il libro prende le mosse dalla nascita delle prime gazzette secentesche, segue le vicende della stampa registrandone il ruolo via via crescente nella società e si chiude quando il giornalismo stampato, già affiancato da quello radiofonico e televisivo, entra in un futuro contrassegnato dai nuovi media elettronici.
