Call for articles for a special issue on "The future of science
journalism: knowledge and power"
JCOM, Journal of Science Communication
Deadline extended to: April 20, 2011
Since its inception, the Internet has quickly become a crucial factor
in shaping the ecosystem of information. Today, science journalism
finds itself in the middle of a deep cultural, economic and political
change in which technological evolution has a prominent role. In
particular, old forms of journalism are threatened in the new
information ecosystem, and a re-definition of the social and
professional role of information producers is needed in order to avoid
a loss of the journalism’s democratic, social and cultural function.
Indeed, the Web is the theatre where knowledge and power are being
re-distributed among different actors and social groups, and new forms
of expertise need to be integrated in the scientific information system.
A future special issue of the Journal of Science Communication will
discuss these transformations.
