Specialised JournalismScience Health Reporting
AY2014/2015 Semester 1
This course aims to teach students about reporting in two related specialized fields - science and health. First, the course will give students an appreciation of science and medical journalism; from vaccines to viruses, satellites to space stations, embryonic stem cells to genomes, pollution and conservation, new and old diseases, potential pandemics, a growing pharmaceutical industry and an aging population. Next, the course will focus on strategies for communicating science and health to the public; how to explain things, how to interview experts who seem to speak a language of their own, how to research and write meaningful stories for a general audience.
