Advancing High-Quality Science Journalism: Challenges and Pathways Forward
Journalists play a critical role in providing accurate, timely, and trustworthy science information to the public. Yet, a number of factors within journalism—decreased funding, shrinking newsrooms, media deregulation, reduced access to high-quality science information and scientific sources—have hampered the quantity and quality of science news, creating fertile ground for science misinformation to more easily spread. At the same time, some journalistic norms and practices can make science reporting particularly prone to the unintentional spread of misinformation, and public trust and confidence in the press continues to wane. This webinar will discuss the challenges to reporting on science in today's landscape and surface the needs and opportunities for bolstering science, health, and medical journalism.
