Science journalism

Encyclopedia : S : SC : SCI : Science journalism

Science journalism is a relatively new branch of journalism, which utilizes the art of reporting to convey information on science topics to a public forum. The communication of scientific knowledge via mass media requires a special relationship between the world of science and news media, which is still just beginning to form.

In recent years, the amount of scientific news has grown rapidly with science playing an increasingly central role in society. Interaction between the scientific community and news media has been therefore inevitable. The differences between the methodologies of these two "pillars" of modern society, foremost their distinct ways of developing their realities, have led to some difficulties.
