dc.description.abstract	Science journalists in the developing world face unique stumbling blocks, even as some of the biggest science stories unfold around them (H5N1; HIV/AIDS). Reporters in the developing world face challenges that would keep counterparts in the West from even trying. They are often untrained in both science and journalism, lack support and resources, and have an uneasy relationship with the scientists and officials on whom they rely for news and comment. When science and the reporting of it are politicized, journalism is disabled. The article reports on a few initiatives aimed at bridging the gap between science and society in the developing world.	en
