Science Communication Skills for Journalists

Science Communication Skills for Journalists by Charles Wendo

With 16 chapters covering science communication skills, the editor and author of this book, Dr Charles Wendo, has used his detailed knowledge of the field to consult leading editors and journalists across Africa. Providing examples, learning activities, graded and ungraded quizzes to facilitate learning, the content has been tried and tested by lecturers at two universities in Nigeria and Uganda by using it to help successfully train thousands of students in science communication. Each chapter includes hands-on advice on the practice of science journalism, with learning activities to deepen the learner's understanding of the topic. The book also includes five academic systematic review papers that identify, review and synthesize available literature and experiences on science journalism and communication issues in Africa. It also includes a case study detailing the experience of Uganda's Makerere University in introducing science journalism and communication into their undergraduate and post-graduate curricula. This book is ideal for students of science journalism and communication and those wanting to improve the understanding of science, particularly in Africa.

Wendo is a science journalist, media trainer and veterinary doctor. He has worked with CABI since November 2017 as training coordinator for SciDev.Net. His role involves training journalists on how to report about science in the media. He does this by organising online and face-to-face training and supporting universities in Africa to embed science journalism in their undergraduate curricula. Prior to joining CABI he worked with the New Vision newspaper in Uganda for over 16 years as a science writer, science editor, Saturday Vision editor and Sunday Vision editor. He also worked with the Infectious Diseases Institute of Makerere University in Uganda as a communication specialist for over two years.
