Theme

With theme "Transforming Narratives: Reshaping the Landscape of Science Journalism," SJF24 will examine how emerging technologies, evolving audience expectations, and changing market dynamics are redefining the way science stories are researched, crafted, and delivered. This year’s edition will focus on four main categories:

Adapting to a New Era As the information landscape rapidly evolves, science journalists must cultivate a versatile skillset to thrive. The forum will delve into the essential competencies required in this new era, from data analysis and visualization to digital storytelling and audience engagement. Discussions will focus on how journalists can leverage tools like artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance research, automate mundane tasks, and uncover hidden narratives within complex scientific data.
Science journalism organizations must transform strategically to meet changing audience preferences and competition. SJF24 will explore the strategic and operational changes required to adapt to these market demands, including the adoption of emerging technologies, the development of new revenue models, and the fostering of deeper reader-publisher relationships.
The traditional boundaries of science journalism are being tested, giving rise to innovative content formats and storytelling approaches. The forum will examine the evolving content landscape, highlighting emerging trends such as interactive data visualizations, immersive multimedia experiences, and the integration of AI-generated content.
Rapid advancements in technology, are poised to revolutionize the practice of science journalism. SJF24 will showcase the transformative potential of cutting-edge tools and platforms, from AI-powered story generation and language models to augmented reality and virtual reality applications.
