Uncovering the beat : the real-world guide to reporting on government / Gemma Luz Corotan [et al.] ; foreword by Sheila S. Coronel. - Pasig City : Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, 1997. - ix, 322 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.

This easy-to-use reference book compiles essential information on the workings of key government institutions; the presidency, Congress, the courts, the police, the agencies that regulate the economy and the environment, and those that provide education and health services.

It describes the structure of these institutions and the laws that govern them. It explains how these agencies work and untangles the often arcane procedures that govern their operation. Government is a maze, and Uncovering the Beat is a guide to that maze.
