Description
This is a practical module in communicating science across different genres of output for different audiences and on different platforms. Students write short news stories, profiles, and reportages for broadsheet newspapers and popular science magazines targeting audiences from educated adults to school children with an interest in science. They write blog posts and produce other kind of content for social media, such as short captioned videos. They interview scientists and present their interviews in writing as well as through podcasting. Issues in the public communication of science are discussed from this practical standpoint. This module is time intensive and requires substantial group work. It rests on the idea that the only way to learn how to write for journalism is to work in career appropriate setting. The assessment for the module is a mixture of formative and summative work.
