About 5-Minutes-Scientific-Journalism
According to a recent survey, less than 5% of journalism courses offered at public higher education institutions in Brazil have a compulsory subject in scientific journalism.
The idea of 5-Minutes-Scientific-Journalism emerged in mid-2020, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. The members of RedeComCiência discussed the deficiencies in education in science journalism in the country and brainstormed on how to carry out our mission of contributing to science journalism in the country. That was the moment when the idea of 5-Minutes-Scientific-Journalism emerged.
In short, our goal is to present practical tips for producing quality science content, through short videos. How to find the best sources? How to read a scientific article? What are the career opportunities for science journalists? These are some of the questions we will seek to answer in our videos.
