Members of this list might be interested in this new EPSRC/ AHRC/ BBC project based at the University of Westminster, aiming to connect academics and the media. It'd be good to see some science communication professionals involved, I'm sure they'd find that kind of expertise useful. http://www.connectionfactory.org.uk/ Also, their (FREE) event on the 25th March "Public service media in the digital age" - http://publicservicemediaindigitalage.eventbrite.com/ This aims to bring together media professionals, Web 2.0 entrepreneurs, and academic researchers on mixed discussion panels and a hands-on creative workshops to discuss these questions: * How does the traditional ‘public service’ mission translate into the online, interactive, user-engaged media of today? * How should professionals and organisations respond to the creative challenge posed by activists and amateurs? * Can a knowledge exchange network linking researchers and practitioners help us to do things better in the future? Again, I know they'd be interested in perspectives from sci com'n.
