Workshop Anual de Imersão Científica do Metcalf Institute para Jornalistas 2024

Deadline: 12 February 2024

Registration is now open for the Metcalf Institute's Annual Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists 2024 . As climate change has become a more frequent issue of concern, newsrooms have adjusted, incorporating more coverage of environmental change and its impacts. Unfortunately, many reporters and editors lack the experience, sources and confidence to cover these stories with the depth and nuance they require. The Metcalf Institute's Annual Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists (AWJ) is designed to fill this gap and be a valuable resource for journalists working in a wide variety of fields.

It's the 26th anniversary of this engaging programme and this year will have a special focus on water issues and climate change. Fellows will delve into issues such as water quality, plastics and public health, and ecosystem restoration, all through a social justice lens.

The Metcalf Institute's AWJ is for full-time journalists working in any media outlet who want to learn more about research and topics related to climate change science, impacts, adaptation and justice. It's designed to strengthen your understanding of the methods, norms and culture of science, with hands-on activities, field trips and opportunities to develop relationships with scientific experts and other fellows! They welcome journalists from all fields, such as arts and culture, business, technology, politics and policy, as climate change shapes all these fields with increasing urgency.

Benefits

As a result of their participation in the Annual Scientific Immersion Workshop, the fellows will:

Be able to identify important stories about climate change and energy that are relevant to your news audience.
Understand how academic scientists plan, fund, conduct and publish their research
Be better prepared to understand and communicate scientific uncertainties
Be better prepared to translate scientific discoveries for the news audience
Recognise and understand the interactions between climate change, the environment and society, and how climate change disproportionately affects communities of colour and low-income communities.
