WHY WE DO IT

Covering science and its multiple dimensions is a constant challenge. Science communication must go beyond the idea of simply decoding scientific jargon: it must interpret results and scrutinize the consequences of the scientific endeavor, providing audiences with a critical understanding of how science shapes our present and our future at the national and global level. In a world of ever-increasing complexity, science journalists and communicators are key to help audiences understand the difference between relevant information and dressed interests.

EN: What We Do

“The journalist is no longer an intermediary, merely transmitting information as a scientist's spokesperson or postman. The journalist is a mediator who must independently reflect upon information and its consequences.”
