Single session event
Public discourse on energy topics from nuclear technology to climate impacts to biofuels is often characterized by tall claims, exaggerated risks, biased coverage and impenetrable legalese. The MIT Energy Initiative and Knight Science Journalism Fellowship Program convene ~5 reporters to tell the behind-the-scenes story on how energy stories get told -- and spun. Join an experienced and talented panel of journalists from across the media spectrum for an inside look at the forces that shape media on energy and practical insights on how scientists can improve the way that their research is conveyed to a public that is under daily information bombardment.
Co-Sponsored by the Knight Science Journalism Fellowships
