Introduction
Introduction
What you will learn in this chapter:
Introduction
Welcome to Science Journalism: An Introduction ! I invite you to join me as I cover the whole science journalistic process from finding ideas, to pitching them to your colleagues and editors, to writing for print and online media. The book also includes dedicated chapters on storytelling techniques, statistics, investigative journalism in a scientific context, digital science journalism and how you can build a career in this competitive field.
You can read this book in one of two ways. If you are an aspiring science writer without much experience, I recommend you read the book from start to finish. If you are a seasoned science writer, you should look for the gems in this book. The interviews with veteran science writers, science journalism educators, award-winning science bloggers, statisticians and scientists ensure you are not fed one authors opinion; rather, you will get to know the tools of the trade via the first-hand accounts of these experts.
At the end of each chapter you will find a short summary, a set of review questions, exercises to cement your newly acquired know-how and a reading list.
In this chapter, I first try to answer what is science journalism? Is it complete reporting on science? Is it sensationalist, entertaining writing that merely touches science marginally? Isnt science involved in most stories nowadays, at least up to certain degree? In investigating these questions, the section that follows the definition will provide a short overview of how science journalism evolved and how historical science writing differs from todays.
The section on infotainment versus critical science journalism briefly addresses one of the most debated issues of science journalism: its quality. It is certainly true that the availability of online tools has contributed to there being numerous science-related articles and television and radio contributions that have questionable journalistic and educational value; at the same time, it is that very availability of online tools that has rendered the production of news as easy as it possibly gets, making this era the golden age of journalism. Despite the reports that newspapers, magazines and television channels are cutting their science staff (which in some contexts is true), this is a great time to be a science journalist. The readers love well-presented science.
