SCIENCE JOURNALISM
This year, MEDIA LOVES TECH is offering a special prize for projects working in the field of science journalism. The best proposals can win up to €5,000!
But what do we mean by science journalism?
We use the term in a broad sense: we define it as a form of journalism that focuses on covering science and business news in order to provide the public with reliable and understandable information.
The Coronavirus pandemic period has reminded us that providing the general public with reliable and timely information on health and economic issues is more than a necessity.
In this context, the media have a great responsibility to report the news accurately, while taking into account the conflicts that can arise in a global crisis, to rank expert opinions and to question political decisions on issues of economic promotion and health management.
That is why MEDIA LOVES TECH wants to highlight and reward the best projects in this category.
Do you have a project that can improve the work of journalists on these issues? A tool that facilitates data processing? A solution to make complex issues accessible to the greatest number of people?
Participate in MEDIA LOVES TECH and increase your chances of success!
