Who should control the narrative of scientific discovery in the media?
In short: This video explores the tension between journalists and scientists in communicating research. As digital content becomes free, we examine whether the media or the scientific community holds the responsibility for public education.
Science publicist Sallie Robins examines the shifting landscape of science journalism and the challenge of funding in an era of free online information.
