Space Journalism and Outreach Workshop

Commercial dreams stated as facts, result driven scientific research and biased reporting are just some of the challenges that journalists face today. The quality of media is not always easy to measure, but aiming for objective view and scientifically correct facts are still the basic ingredients for trustworthy articles and press releases. The aim of this special session is to take a look at some of the challenges the space media is facing these years. The panel offers viewpoints from both an outreach specialist making a press release and a journalist using it for different purposes. There will also be time for group discussion to broaden the perspectives. The session is intended for media professionals and anyone else interested in the subject. You can also ask questions or suggest discussion subjects in Twitter with #iac2018journalism.
