Equipping journalists with effective reporting skills on science will be the focus of frayintermedia’s second Reporting Science Conference.
Themed Making Science Headlines this year’s conference will focus on climate change, alternative energy sources, food security and nanotechnology.
Said organiser Debby Kramer: “Science stories seemingly go untold because of a shortage of well informed and trained science journalists. This conference aims to change that by empowering science reporters with knowledge by giving them access to some of South Africa’s elite scientists both locally and abroad – it is about giving reporters the opportunity to make science headlines.”
Taking place on 10 and 11 November at the Hacklebrooke Estate in Johannesburg, the conference offers reporters the unique opportunity to network with scientists and experts on a variety of topics, whilst improving their skills.
Also on the agenda this year is a trip to a local observatory where the night sky will be viewed.
