Description
Stempra in National Science and Engineering Week
Science journalism is often governed by embargoes, a “gentlemen’s agreement” that dictates when a story can be reported. But what is their purpose? Do they make for better science reporting or are they just a tool for journals and press officers to manipulate the media with? When is a story just too good to keep the embargo and should the public interest come first?
Join journalists from the Times, Observer and BBC and press officers from Nature and leading research funders as Stempra discusses the rights, wrongs and practicalities of embargoes.
