Journalism at Science News: Putting truth over traffic

8:00 am – 8:36 am

Presenter: Emily M Conover (Science News)

As a journalist covering physics at Science News magazine, I aim to give readers a comprehensive view of the status of scientific research, including its blemishes. I'll discuss how I work against the pressures that lead to hype and misinformation in science journalism, and how Science News as a whole fosters a culture that prioritizes truth over website traffic.
