of Science Journalists on «Blood Infusion»
EUSJA is committed to raise the professional standards. At the 8th World Conference of Science Journalists in Helsinki, it ran a training workshop for some 30 colleagues from around the world.
It addressed three major challenges of the job: investigation*, statistics, storytelling.
The lecturers Hans van Maanen, Angela Posada-Swafford and Fabio Turone are all seasoned science journalists. Here you find their curricula & summaries, pix & interviews, in one word: the ESSENTIALS.
They may serve as a guide and thanks to WCSJ 2013 for having enabled this!
