A recipe for South East Europe?
A “research infrastructure” for science journalism?
· Training of both specialised science journalists and general
reporters and editors;
· Development of Region-wide networks of science
journalists, also to improve the quality of science journalism
by peer-to-peer and other monitoring systems;
· Funding of science journalists through direct funding of
travel costs, grants; establishing a prestigious prize for
science journalism.
From the “Proposal for action: STRENGTHENING SCIENCE JOURNALISM IN EUROPE”
drafted for the European Commission by representatives of the European Union
of Science Journalists Associations, the World Federation of Science Journalists and
national science journalists associations of Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom, that will be discussed in the Helsinki World Conference
of Science Journalism in June 2013.
