Specialization overview

The specialization of science and environmental journalism is part of preparing specialized journalists who are capable of conveying scientific and environmental information to the public in a clear, accurate, and reliable manner, while maintaining journalistic rigor and high-quality critical analysis. These journalists work on collecting scientific information, verifying it, and processing it objectively, while interpreting developments and issues across various scientific fields, particularly urgent environmental issues such as climate change, natural resource management, and biodiversity.
