Learning on ScreenAlok Jha: Science and the Media - Presentations and Discussion
- Synopsis
- Video recording of an event held at the Royal Institution on 13 March 2012. Recent debates on copy-checking of science-based articles in the media have exposed a gulf between what journalists do and what some scientists think journalists should do. Dr Alice Bell chairs a debate that explores how these groups can better-understand the work and intentions of the other, and whether it matters. Ananyo Battacharya, Chief Online Editor at Nature, Chris Chambers, from Cardiff University’s School of Psychology, science writer Ed Yong, and Head of the UK’s Science Media Centre, Fiona Fox, present their views on what scientists and journalists need from each other. (38 minutes)
