2007 BA Media Fellowship scheme
Experience first hand how science is reported by spending 3-8 weeks on a
summer placement gaining experience of working within a media
organisation. Come away better equipped to communicate your research
and expertise to the public and your colleagues. Learn to work within
the conditions and constraints of the media to produce accurate and well
informed pieces about developments in science.
The BA Media Fellowships are intended to create a greater awareness and
understanding of the workings of the media among practising scientists,
clinicians, social scientists and engineers. The fellowships provide
placements working with a national press, broadcast or internet
journalist.
The application process is now open and details about the scheme,
