Future Directions in Science Journalism, University of British Columbia School of Journalism, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, November 9-10, 2007

摘要

Science journalism was put under the microscope by 70 attendees through four panel discussions at this conference, which also included a first-ever annual awards program for excellence in Canadian science journalism. University of British Columbia Professor Alfred Hermida, addressing science communication in the digital age, confirmed what we all have guessed: The younger the audience, the more digitally focused they are. For the print journalists in attendance, this was a sobering dose of reality.
