Dear members of EUSJA
Welcome to the EUSJA newsletter. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer!
As Europe continues its return to work, EUSJA has had a busy three months behind the scenes. Apart from our renewed website and LinkedIn page, we launched an EUSJA manifesto for your feedback and a survey on AI and science journalism.
Looking over our news, I saw a theme emerging; a meeting of science journalism associations from the past, present and (hopefully) future.
First, the present. EUSJA was contacted by a new science journalists association started in Kyrgyzstan. We invited their Board Chair & President, Ulan Eshmatov, to share a few words about the new association. You can read his introduction below.
Following on from that, we have news about our first inter-board meeting with the European Federation for Science Journalism (EFSJ), where we informally discussed our work as science journalists and ideas for future cooperation.
Then in a guest post, TELI board member and former EUSJA Hon Secretary Wolfgang Chr. Goede guides us through a century of TELI history.
Unfortunately, the summer also brought some sad news. Last month, the EUSJA community learned that former Vice-President Anna Nolan had passed away. Viola Egikova remembers her through her excellent essay.
