Want Science News? Start Your Own Publication
I have been running a series of videos on the future of journalism. At ConvergeSouth 2007 I did an interview with Anton Zuiker of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area of North Carolina, home of the world renown Research Triangle Park. Zuiker says as local newspapers are less inclined to support their medical and science writers “there is a disconnect there, there’s a lot of science and technology and medical research happening, but it’s not getting a lot of press and coverage. So we are thinking about doing our own, Triangle Science Times…” They plan to aggregate news, but also do their own features, profiles and investigative reporting. So this is where I jump into the conversation and put in a plug for RepresentativeJournalism.org.
