Like I previously implied, taking the communicating science class is one of my ‘out-of-the-box’ things. Each week presents an opportunity to either learn more about something I have heard before or learn about a new aspect I have had no prior knowledge of. This week I embark on how to write a press release and journalism. I expect to know more about press releases, how to write them and their relevance in journalism. I am particularly interested in finding out the role of scientists and journalists in press release write-up. Where do we draw the line between the roles of the two?
