As there is a small industry in providing “paid for” courses – I play a tiny part in this myself –  you may not find it easy to get an unpaid trainer. So it might be good to look local. If there is an experienced journalist who covers they science beat, they might be prepared to do it on the grounds that they could get some leads out of the session.

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Science Journalism Training

 

Us at  Au Science Magazine (www.aumag.co.uk) are looking to put together a day training event for students (undergrad and post grad) to give budding writers advice, tips and guidance on science journalism.

 

We are looking for suggestions of people who would be willing to come and visit Aberdeen and maybe hold workshops and/or talk about their career.

 

If anyone has any advice (if you have organised anything like this before) or suggestions of people that might be willing it would be much appreciated.

 

We do have funding to cover expenses, however we would not be able to pay people for the session.

 

Thanks!

 

Heather
