| dc.description.abstract | An innovative new mentoring program aims to strengthen science reporting in developing countries where gaps between science and public awareness can be conspicuous, particularly in Africa. Research into biotechnology, HIV/AIDS, and climate change, for example, flourishes there, but journalists lack the specialized training needed to report it. By providing a framework for sharing information and ideas, for dialogue and debate in journalism practice, the new project brings an international network of peer-to-peer mentoring to enhance the analytical and technical capacity of science journalists. More than 175 journalists in 37 countries in Africa and the Middle East have applied to the program. | en |
