Science and Medicine: Covering the News*

53-4410

The ability to write and report clearly about medical, scientific, and environmental subjects is an increasingly useful skill in writing for newspapers, magazines, broadcast outlets, Web pages, book publishers, the health industry, and academic institutions. The reading public has a strong need for news about health, the sciences, and the state of the planet both to make personal lifestyle choices and to guide local and national leaders in setting policy. Students learn to take complex ideas and express them in language accessible to a mass audience.
