Title Genes are Gems: Reporting Agri-Biotechnology
A Sourcebook for Journalists
 
Creator Navarro, R L

Subject Genetics and Genomics
 
Description The inspiration for a sourcebook on agri-biotechnology reporting
originated at this workshop series. The idea was to collate the knowledge
and wisdom gained from the workshops and put them into a handy
reference book for science communicators and journalists. From the
presentations of biotechnology scientists and communication specialists,
experiences of journalists that were shared, and the writing exercises
done at the workshops, we have distilled the practical advice and
guidelines that are in this sourcebook for agri-biotechnology reporting.
We are certain that the impact of this sourcebook will not end with
the communicators alone. The media’s multiplier effect impacts the
decision of policymakers, which in turn will lead to informed actions
that will significantly improve the lives of poor farmers.
This volume, Genes are Gems: Reporting Agri-Biotechnology,
is our offering to science communicators who want to report on agribiotechnology.
May your tribe increase!
