"The Indigenous journalism manual Poranga Marandúa was launched Monday [Aug. 10] at the Chamber of Deputies in Brasília. The first-of-its-kind resource includes terminology, guidance and principles from the perspective of Indigenous peoples.
According to Luciene Kaxinawá, general coordinator of the Brazilian Association of Indigenous Journalists (Abrinjor), the manual is the result of work carried out by the organization with the participation of more than 40 Indigenous peoples.
The first edition of Poranga Marandúa was edited and reviewed by the Indigenous Organization Instituto Kaingáng (Inka) and is available online for free.
For Abrinjor members, the publication of the manual, after a year and a half of work, is “good news” — which is precisely the meaning of the expression 'poranga marandúa' in Nheengatu, a language in the Tupi-Guarani family.
The manual is intended to serve as a working tool for journalists across Brazil, but also as an educational resource, said Sônia Kaingáng, a pioneering Indigenous journalist and Inka communicator."
