Script is a free training and networking resource for journalists, scientists and anyone who wants to communicate science in an engaging and accurate way.
By connecting reporters and researchers, and giving both groups the skills to understand and communicate with each other, Script aims to increase the quantity and quality of science-related stories in the news. We believe this is essential to enable informed, evidence-based decision-making, by everyone from individuals to policymakers.
Take a look at the resources below to find out more.
Script is made possible by funding from the Robert Bosch Stiftung and is implemented by SciDev.Net
Time flies! We’re already on the final day of training. Today, we are discussing how to effectively communicate research findings to policymakers. @ScriptTrainig @CABI_News
This is an example of a media article written by a researcher about their research. It’s an expert opinion article, with a catchy but not exaggerated headline, written mostly in plain English. https://sunrise.ug/opinions/202410/chicken-a-growing-enterprise-helping-youth-to-become-climate-resilient.html
Looking forward to five days of exciting discussions with researchers from CABI member countries on how to communicate research findings and innovations to the media, public and policymakers.
