Scientific journalism:

Science journalism has been defined historically, especially since the Second World War onwards, as that activity is to bring professional media the findings of science in a language understandable to non-experts.

This goal has led to specific production routines: primarily the practice of waiting for the publication of papers in scientific journals by title through the peer-review process before you get out the news on radio, newspapers, television.

The context of production of scientific knowledge and its ethical, political, social interests are not part of traditional science journalism.

Alice Bell wrote an interesting post about a possible science journalism upstream. In short we must talk, Alice said, not only of the "science ready" but the "science-in-action", the science in the making.

elements of narrative proposed by Alice: the science lab, and more generally the context in which the action is the scientists' research, is as a theater, this scene scientists "are interesting," "wonder", "I'm excited" by something and not so anonymous, "found that", "are working for." Focusing more on the process than to the result, in short.

Another important point of the post is to show not only the work of scientists in the making but also that of science journalists. You must use the web to make it clear to the public as the news reporter constructs and how they change over time is telling the story through the participation of readers.

Alice's post has received many comments and even criticism. Beyond shared some objections I find the discussion interesting because is a concrete example of why and how we should look for new stories for science in the media. The mantra also applies to innovation in information science journalism, in my opinion especially science journalism.

The narrative, along with software, to routine manufacturing, design elements are to discuss. Through experiments on all these aspects of information on science and technology should find its leading role in the new ecosystem of communications.
